The **Green Bird Wrasse** is a captivating and sizable fish, known for its distinctive beak-like snout that aids in hunting prey in confined spaces. These wrasses boast a rich green hue, with males displaying this vibrant color, while females, known as Brown Bird Wrasses, exhibit tan and brown shades.
Reaching up to 11 inches, **Green Bird Wrasses** require a minimum tank size of 125 gallons. They are notorious for their jumping ability, necessitating a securely covered tank to prevent escape. As aggressive creatures, they should be housed with similarly large, assertive fish. They are not ideal for reef aquariums due to their tendency to disturb smaller fish and consume invertebrates.
These wrasses thrive in male-female pairs, with the female typically introduced to the tank first. As carnivores, **Green Bird Wrasses** need a diet rich in meaty foods such as mysis and brine shrimp, premium frozen foods, quality flake and pellet foods, and small portions of fresh seafood.
