Description
The Lyretail Anthias is a stunning addition to any reef aquarium, particularly the female variety, which showcases a vibrant yellow hue accented with delicate pink highlights. Known for their peaceful nature, these fish thrive in well-maintained tanks with plenty of swimming space and hiding spots. Lyretail Anthias are active swimmers and prefer to be kept in groups, which encourages natural behaviors and reduces stress. As carnivores, they require a diet rich in high-quality frozen or live foods, ensuring they remain healthy and vibrant. With proper care and an environment that mimics their natural habitat, these fish will not only enhance the beauty of your aquarium but also bring dynamic movement and life to the ecosystem. A minimum tank size of 50 gallons is recommended for optimal growth and social interaction.
