Description
The Red Anthias is a striking addition to any aquarium with its bright red hues and intricate patterns along its body. This peaceful fish does well in a reef environment and can coexist harmoniously with other non-aggressive tank mates. The Red Anthias prefers a tank with plenty of open swimming space, as well as areas to retreat. It’s a carnivore that enjoys a diet of small, protein-rich foods such as mysis and brine shrimp. Regular feedings and a stable environment are essential for keeping this fish vibrant and healthy.
