Description
The Silver Streak Anthias (Pseudanthias pleurotaenia) is a vibrant and striking reef fish, known for its beautiful coloration and lively behavior. This species displays a delightful blend of pink and yellow hues, with a distinctive silver streak running along its body, making it a popular choice for reef aquariums.
Native to the Indo-Pacific region, Silver Streak Anthias are typically found in schools around coral reefs, where they exhibit a peaceful temperament. They thrive in well-maintained tanks with plenty of swimming space and hiding spots. It’s ideal to keep them in groups, as they are social fish and will feel more secure in a school.
As a planktonivore, the Silver Streak Anthias requires a diet rich in high-quality frozen or live foods, such as brine shrimp and copepods. Providing several small meals throughout the day will help ensure their health and vibrancy.
Due to their moderate care level and specific dietary needs, they are best suited for aquarists with some experience. Their stunning appearance and active behavior make them a captivating addition to any reef setup.
