notes
   Another of the Tamarin wrasses. Again, these beautiful wrasses are best avoided, due to there very poor captive survival rate. If you wish to try one, make sure the specimen has no signs of disease or illness and is active. Try to entice feeding by initially using live brine shrimp and black worms. After it acclimates, introduce fresh cut and frozen meaty foods.   
overview
  
The New Guinea Wrasse (Anampses neoguinaicus) belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.8 inches in length, the New Guinea Wrasse is passive in nature and risky 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 neoguinaicus should not be housed in a tank less than 55 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, a well established aquarium, and high water quality.
