Genus
Common name: Bird Wrasse
Scientific name: Gomphosus
Gomphosus is a genus of wrasses commonly known as Bird Wrasses due to their elongated beaks, which they use to hunt for small invertebrates in crevices. They are active and colorful fish, with males often displaying more vibrant colors than females. In the aquarium, they require ample swimming space and a diet rich in meaty foods. Bird Wrasses can be aggressive towards smaller tank mates, so careful selection of compatible species is crucial.
