The Lyretail Anthias is the social butterfly of marine aquariums. This eye catching fish is incredibly active and helps draw out shy fish that share the aquarium. The Lyretail Anthias males have bright red colouration of varying hues while the female Lyretail Anthias are orange in colouration.
The Lyretail Anthias does best when kept in a group and housed in a species specific aquarium of at least 450 litre in size. Male Lyretail Anthias are best kept alone or with several females. Though the Lyretail Anthias generally occupy the middle of the aquarium, it appreciates the availability of several hiding places.
Anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group will often develop into a male to take his place.
Once acclimated to a new aquarium, Anthias do best when fed a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp and brine shrimp, and over time may eat high quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day. An attached refugium cultivating copepods and amphipods provides a steady supply of nutritious live food sure to keep this active planktivore content.
