Keeping Lyretail Wrasse (Thalassoma lunare) in an Aquarium

Thalassoma lunare, commonly known as Lyretail Wrasse, is a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts due to its vibrant and striking appearance. These fish are also MAC certified, which means that they are sustainably harvested and not harmful to the environment.

Tank Requirements

Lyretail wrasses are active swimmers and require a tank with plenty of swimming space. A minimum of 75 gallons is recommended for a single fish, with an additional 25 gallons for each additional fish. A sand substrate is preferred, along with plenty of live rock for hiding and grazing.

Water Conditions

Lyretail wrasses are hardy fish and can tolerate a range of water conditions. However, they prefer a pH of 8.1-8.4, a temperature range of 75-82°F, and a salinity level of 1.020-1.025. Regular water changes are essential to maintain good water quality.

Diet

Lyretail wrasses are carnivorous and require a diet rich in protein. They will readily accept a variety of frozen and live foods, including brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and krill. It is important to feed them small meals throughout the day rather than one large meal.
