Orange Bar Anthias – Female

Quick Stats

Description

The Orange Bar Anthias is a strikingly beautiful species of fish that adds vibrant color to any reef aquarium. Females typically showcase a gentle soft orange hue, often highlighted with pinkish tones and blue accents, creating a visually appealing contrast against the backdrop of a well-planted or coral-rich environment.

Reaching a maximum size of around 3.5 inches, these fish are moderately easy to care for, making them suitable for both novice and experienced aquarists. They thrive in groups, so keeping multiple females with a single male is highly recommended to promote natural social behaviors and reduce stress.

As omnivores, Orange Bar Anthias enjoy a varied diet that includes high-quality flakes, pellets, and frozen foods such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. A well-balanced diet is essential for their growth and overall health.

These fish are peaceful and generally coexist harmoniously with other reef inhabitants, making them an excellent choice for community tanks. They are best suited for aquariums with stable water conditions, and maintaining ideal parameters is crucial for their well-being.
