Hey all,

I'm trying to settle on a wrasse for my 50 gallon 3 foot tank. I've heard a number of different tank size requirements and every source says something different. I've seen minimum tank sizes of 20 gallon to 75 gallon for these fish.

If you think another type of wrasse would be better suited feel free to make suggestions!

I agree, shouldn't be a problem.

3 feet is the minimum I always advocate; tank volume is less important.

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
