| Fast Facts | PLEASE NOTE: This is a restricted species and is not covered by our live arrival guarantee. This is an amazing species, sporting an unbelievable color pattern. Most individuals originate from the Cook Islands. This is a very delicate species recommended only for the highly experienced anthias keeper. This species is very prone to being picked on by belligerent tankmates. It is imperative that you keep them with peaceful tankmates. If there are any bold feeders or even mildly aggressive fish in your aquarium, forget it, the Ventralis Anthiais will not survive. In order to have a chance of keeping this species, it is necessary to keep them ONLY with exceptionally mild mannered fish and initially offer them live, vitamin-enriched food three to five times in a day. Keeping a group of females and a single male 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. |
