Information About Blood Spot Anthias

Encountered in the trade and very attractive. Males are spotted with three white lines across the body, with a pinkish color and a red spot on their dorsal fin. Females are generally pink and do not have the red spot on their dorsal and body yellow lines.

It is best kept in aquariums with some caves that are rocky and intense water flow with a huge space for schooling that is unencumbered that will take place at the higher area. It prefers lower light aquariums, but is able to be maintained in aquariums with bright lighting, but might take longer to adjust. Tankmates must be calm and they should be the first to enter the aquarium.

 

Blood Spot Anthias Diet

Regarding diet, the fish can eat the majority of fish food items, e.g., finely chopped fresh or frozen meaty fish like mysis, squids, fish flesh and shrimp, clams and more. They must be served every day at least two times and then dispensed to the downstream so that water currents transport the food to their destination.

Sometimes, it is difficult to feed. If this is the case an adult brine fortified with shrimp could be required until they are able to accept other types of aquarium food items, e.g., frozen food items as well as fresh marine fish as well as invertebrate flesh.
