The Anampses genus is also refered to as tamarin wrasses. A beautiful and peaceful wrasse, however there is a downside. They do not fair well in shipping, and tend to starve themselves in the aquarium. As they acclimate and make the crossover to prepared foods, they will feed on amphipods in an established aquarium. Also, they rest by burying themselves in the substrate at night for security. |

The Bluespotted Wrasse (Anampses caeruleopunctatus) belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 17.0 inches in length, the Bluespotted Wrasse is passive in nature and sensitive 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. Anampses caeruleopunctatus should not be housed in a tank less than 100 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places and a deep substrate.
