Anthias fish are a popular addition to saltwater aquariums due to their vibrant colors and active swimming behavior. They are native to coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific region, and the ideal aquarium for them should replicate their natural home with plenty of open swimming space, live rock, and plenty of hiding places. Anthias prefer to school together, so keeping a group of them together is crucial. They are omnivorous, so a variety of frozen and prepared foods should be provided as part of a balanced diet. With the right care, these beautiful fish can make an attractive addition to any reef aquarium.
