Jansen's Wrasse
| Latin Name | Thalassoma janseni | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Common Name | Jansen's Wrasse | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Also known as | Janseni Wrasse | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Fast Facts | Bold, hardy, colorful and easy to maintain, there's not much Jansen's Wrasse doesn't have going for it—except it's very hard to get! All members of the genus Thalassoma are excellent aquarium fish that can live many years in any well-maintained aquarium. This is an active fish that requires plenty of swimming space and tankmates that aren't too passive. An excellent fish for the community "fish tank", this wrasse should not be kept in reef tanks, but of course it will do great with live rock. Jansen's Wrasse isn't nearly as frequently available as are the similar Lunare Wrasse and Lime Green Wrasse. Shown is a very large, mature specimen. |
