Bimaculatus Anthias – Male – Maldives

Pseudanthias bimaculatus

Pseudanthias Anthias are known for being brightly colored and will make an exquisite display when added in a harem. They can be added in groups of at least three, but will do much better in a harem size of 6 or 9. Usually, one in the group will morph into a male, and a male can be added for every 4 or 5 females, which gives a much more completed look. The males will protect the females, making for a really great show. These fish are well suited for automated feedings on pelletized foods since they readily accept prepared diets, which allows you to get them a more natural food distribution over the course of a day. Due to their increased metabolism, it is important that these anthias are fed multiple times a day. They will grow to be 5 inches in size and a harem will require an aquarium of 125 gallons with plenty of hiding places. The Bimaculatus Anthias are found in the Indo-West Pacific that inhabits deep coastal drop-offs up to 100 meters deep.
