A great Pearl / China Wrasse!
Origin: Central Pacific

Size info:

There once was a Pearl Wrasse named Ned,
With a vibrant blue, green, and red head,
He dwells in the coral reefs,
Where he twists and he weaves,
And eats crustaceans 'til he's well-fed.

Fun fact: The Pearl Wrasse is also known as the China Wrasse, and is a popular addition to aquariums due to its striking colors and active personality. They can grow up to 12 inches in length and are found in the Indo-Pacific region.

Keeping Pearl / China Wrasse (Anampses neoguinaicus) in an Aquarium

The Pearl / China Wrasse is a beautiful and colorful fish that can make a great addition to a saltwater aquarium. Here are some things to keep in mind when keeping Anampses neoguinaicus:

Tank Size and Setup

The Pearl / China Wrasse needs a tank that is at least 100 gallons in size, as they are active swimmers and need plenty of space to move around. They also need plenty of hiding places and live rock to explore and graze on.

Water Conditions

These fish are found in the wild in the Indo-Pacific region and prefer water temperatures between 72-78°F and a pH between 8.1-8.4. They also require pristine water quality, so a good filtration system and regular water changes are a must.

Diet

The Pearl / China Wrasse is primarily a herbivore, so their diet should consist of a variety of algae, seaweed, and other vegetable matter. They may also eat small crustaceans and other invertebrates, so be sure to provide a varied diet.

Behavior

These fish are generally peaceful but can become aggressive towards other fish of the same species or similar appearance. They are also known to jump out of the tank, so a tight-fitting lid is recommended.

  • These fish are known for their incredible jumping ability, which they use to escape predators in the wild.
