A very beautiful wrasse. However, delay buying this one if you can. Watch it carefully for awhile at your local fish store. The Checkerboard does not ship very well. So, give it some time to see if the specimen is healthy or not. |

The Checkerboard Wrasse (Halichoeres hortulanus) belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 10.7 inches in length, the Checkerboard Wrasse is generally 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. Halichoeres hortulanus should not be housed in a tank less than 75 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, 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 a fine substrate and a deep substrate.
