Keeping Argus Wrasse in an Aquarium
The Argus Wrasse, also known as Halichoeres argus, is a beautiful fish that can be kept in a home aquarium. Here are some things to keep in mind when caring for this fish:

Argus Wrasse are carnivorous and require a varied diet that includes meaty foods such as shrimp, fish, and squid. They may also eat small crustaceans and worms.
Behavior
Argus Wrasse are generally peaceful fish but can be aggressive towards other wrasses or similar-looking fish. They may also become territorial and aggressive towards new additions to the tank.
Appearance
The Argus Wrasse is a beautiful fish with a greenish-blue body and bright yellow and red markings. They also have a distinctive black spot on their dorsal fin.
Cool Facts
- The black spot on the Argus Wrasse's dorsal fin is thought to mimic an eye, which can confuse predators and help the fish escape.
- Argus Wrasse are known for their ability to change color, which they use to communicate with other fish and to blend into their surroundings.
- These fish are also known for their jumping ability, so a tight-fitting lid on the tank is a must.
