The Saddleback Wrasse (Thalassoma duperrey) belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 10.1 inches in length, the Saddleback Wrasse is semi-aggressive 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 unreported. External sexual differences are limited to the fact that male has a white stripe behind the orange band. Thalassoma duperrey 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 extra swimming area, plenty of hiding places, and a deep substrate.
