The Bimaculatus Anthias is an excellent species to add to any tank of 125 gallons or more. It prefers to be kept with its own species and enjoys having plenty of places to hide. When cared for properly, the Anthias will bring beauty and vibrancy to any tank. Additionally, it is an active species that will add life and energy to the tank. Furthermore, the Anthias is a hardy species that is easy to care for.
Anthias species are incredibly resilient, as they are able to quickly adapt to changes in their environment. As a result, they are one of the most commonly found fish in coral reefs. Furthermore, their hermaphroditic trait makes them well-suited to survive in their natural habitats. Additionally, Anthias species are able to quickly repopulate an area if their numbers are reduced or depleted. This makes them an important part of the marine ecosystem.
If you are new to keeping an aquarium, Anthias are an active and content fish that do well when fed a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and over time may eat high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day. An attached refugium cultivating copepods and amphipods provides a steady supply of nutritious live food sure to keep your Anthias content.
