Pseudanthias anthias

Pseudanthias anthias are brightly colored and make an exquisite display when added in a harem, the Two-Spot Bimaculatus is no exception! The female Two-Spot Anthias can be added in groups of at least three, but they do much better in a harem size of 6 or 9. Usually, one in the group will morph into a male, but a male can be added for every 4 or 5 females, which gives a much more completed look and saves the fish a dominance struggle. The males will protect (and harass to a certain degree) the females, making for a really great show. They are fairly quick to take a large variety of foods, and have shown themselves to be quite hardy.
