| Fast Facts |
Male tricolor anthias are yellow towards the rear of the body, have an orange head and a broad red bar on their side. Females are light red with yellow marks on the scales and a white belly. Both sexes have a violet band from below the eye to the pectoral fin base. This is a hardy and aggressive anthias species. It is best to keep solitary individuals, unless you have an extra large aquarium. It has been known to behave aggressively toward other zooplankton-feeding fishes. It is prone to color a weight loss if not given a varied diet and an ample quantity of food. Provide clean, well oxygenated water, along with plenty of water movement and open swimming space.
