Keeping Stocky Anthias in an Aquarium

The Stocky Anthias, also known as Pseudanthias hypselosoma, is a popular fish among reef keepers. They are native to the Indo-Pacific region and can be found in shallow reefs and lagoons.

Aquarium Requirements

These fish require a minimum tank size of 75 gallons with plenty of hiding places and open swimming areas. They prefer a well-lit aquarium with live rock and live sand. The water temperature should be kept between 72-78°F and the pH level between 8.1-8.4. They are peaceful fish and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish.

Diet

The Stocky Anthias is a carnivore and requires a diet of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and krill. They should be fed small amounts multiple times a day to prevent overeating and to maintain their vibrant colors.

Coolest Stuff

  • The Stocky Anthias is a hermaphrodite, meaning they can change gender from female to male.
  • They are a schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six.
  • During spawning, the male will turn a bright red color to attract a mate.
  • They have a unique swimming style, often darting back and forth in a zigzag pattern.
  • Their vibrant colors and active behavior make them a beautiful addition to any reef aquarium.
