Anthias
60 species
Anthias are a group of small, brightly colored fish that are popular in reef aquariums. They belong to the family Serranidae and are known for their vibrant hues and active swimming behavior. Anthias are generally peaceful and do well in groups, often seen swimming together in the water column. They require a well-established tank with plenty of swimming space and rockwork for hiding. A diet rich in planktonic foods is essential for their health, and they benefit from multiple feedings per day. Due to their social nature, keeping a group with a single male and several females can promote natural behavior and reduce stress.
