Description
The Dusky Wrasse, *Symphodus melops*, is a hardy and engaging fish that makes an excellent addition to a beginner's marine aquarium. Reaching a maximum size of approximately 75 inches, this species is native to the Indo-Pacific region.
A minimum tank size of 75 gallons is recommended for the Dusky Wrasse. They are generally peaceful and can be kept with a variety of other non-aggressive marine fish. Providing plenty of live rock with hiding places is beneficial for this species.
In the aquarium, the Dusky Wrasse will readily accept a varied diet of high-quality marine flake food, pellet food, frozen mysis shrimp, and enriched brine shrimp. Offering a diverse diet will help maintain their vibrant colors and overall health.
