| Fast Facts |
This beautiful species can be difficult to keep. In order to attempt to keep it, it is necessary to feed them live, vitamin-enriched food no less than several times a day. Also it is imperative that you keep them with peaceful tankmates. Keeping a group may also increase your chances of success, if you are willing to put in the time and money to make sure they get enough to eat. Provide clean, well oxygenated water, along with plenty of water movement and open swimming space. For a hardier Antihas, check out the Lyretail Anthias. |
