Carberry Anthias

| Common Name | Carberry Anthias | ||||||

| Fast Facts | This lavender and yellow beauty is occasionally exported from the Maldives. Rarely available to the trade. It will do best in a roomy tank with nonaggressive tankmates that is replete with hiding places. Like all anthias, it is best kept in a group consisting of one male and several females. Also like many anthias, live foods may be necessary to induce feeding. Introducing this fish into a tank that already contains a well-established shoal of less aggressive anthias may facilitate its acclimation. Provide clean, well oxygenated water, along with plenty of water movement and open swimming space. | ||||||
