Care Requirements
Green Bird Wrasses need a large aquarium with ample open swimming space and sturdy rockwork. They are active predators and may prey on small crustaceans, worms, or tiny fish, so they are best suited for fish-only or carefully planned reef systems. A secure lid is essential, as wrasses are known jumpers. Provide a protein-rich diet and stable water quality to keep them vibrant and healthy.
