Tricolor Anthias
Tricolor Anthias, Pseudanthias rubrizonatus, is a colorful addition to the home aquarium. This species is also know as the Red-belted Anthias or the Three-colored Fairy Basslet. The glow of the colors of this species make the Tricolor Anthias truly a showpiece (especially in groupings with one male and a number of females!). It is best to have only one male per aquarium. These fish do not pose a threat to other fish and make wonderful reef inhabitants. A typical meal for an Anthias is comprised of zooplankton and small animals such as Brine Shrimp and copepods. In the wild, Anthias form large schooling groups on the reefs. A single male may claim part of the reef as his and fight off other males that try to invade.
Approximate Arrival Size for Tricolor Anthias: 2 to 4 in.
