SCIENTIFIC NAME - Pseudanthias Bicolor

COMMON NAME - Bicolor Anthias

SIZE - 5.1" (13 cm)

RANGE - Indo Pacific

MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE - 55 US Gal. (208 L)

FOODS AND FEEDING - Meaty foods for zoo-plankton feeders, Mysid shrimp, vitamin enriched Brine shrimp, frozen marine preparations

REEF COMPATIBILITY - Safe with invertebrates

CAPTIVE CARE - Acclimation is easier with light levels lower than is typically found in reef tanks, a tank of at least 135 US Gal. (511 L) is needed to keep one male and 8+ females, adults can be kept with moderately aggressive tank mates (Fygmy Angels, Dottybacks, Surgeonfish) provided the Anthias are introduced and established 1st. Feed a diet high in carotenoids to maintain color.

Looks like a good fish to replace my bicolor dottyback with. That fish is evil.
