The Golden Wrasse is a great beginner fish and can be housed in small groups if desired. Typically passive and can have other docile tankmates. They may be seen "cleaning" other tankmates, so judge aggressive behavior on how the opponent is responding. Don't get the Golden Wrasse confused with Halichoeres leucoxanthus which is white on the lower half of it's body. |

The Golden Wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus) is sometimes called a Canary Wrasse or a Yellow Coris Wrasse. It belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.7 inches in length, the Golden Wrasse is generally passive in nature and 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 low and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Halichoeres chrysus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, 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.
