The **Lyretail Wrasse** is a stunning, vibrant green fish, part of the larger wrasse family. These fish boast a sleek, elongated green body adorned with striking blue patterns and pink accents.
When fully mature, **Lyretail Wrasses** can grow up to 12 inches and require a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. They are not suitable for reef aquariums due to their aggressive nature, which includes harassing smaller fish and consuming certain invertebrates. It's best to introduce **Lyretail Wrasses** last in semi-aggressive to aggressive community tanks, as they may bother any new additions once settled.
These fish thrive in aquariums with abundant live rock for hiding. A secure lid is essential since **Lyretail Wrasses** are known to jump when startled. As carnivores, they need a diet rich in meaty foods, including mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality pellets and flakes, premium frozen foods, and small pieces of fresh seafood to ensure they grow and flourish.
