Scientific name: Paranthias
Paranthias is a genus of fish in the family Serranidae, which includes groupers and sea basses. Members of this genus are known for their vibrant colors and are popular among aquarists for their active behavior and compatibility with other fish in a reef aquarium. They are typically found in tropical and subtropical waters and often inhabit rocky reefs or coral outcrops. Paranthias species are carnivorous, feeding on a variety of small fish and invertebrates. They can be a good choice for larger marine aquariums, provided their dietary and space needs are met.
