The Yellow Patch Cleaner Wrasse is an exciting, new fish we are receiving from our exclusive vendor in Fiji! Cleaner Wrasses aren't aggressive, and should be housed tank mates of similar temperament. However, they can be territorial towards other fish that look similar, like small gobies, dartfish and fangblennies, so it may be best to avoid adding multiples except to exceptionally large systems. Like all cleaner species they will continually try to clean tankmates, so it is good to house them in aquariums that are densely populated which not only distributes this behavior between many fish, but also offers more opportunities for them to get their wild diet.
