The Bluehead Wrasse (Thalassoma bifasciatum) belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 7.0 inches in length, the Bluehead Wrasse is semi-aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Thalassoma bifasciatum should not be housed in a tank less than 75 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 73 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.025. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area and plenty of hiding places.
