Mostly violet, its flanks are dotted with yellow dots as well as an orange-colored line that is visible laterally from the nose to the pectoral fin. A calm nature, the fish is a good match for other peaceful fish of the same species. If you keep several Evansi It is best to keep one male alongside multiple females in a 125 gallon tank. If the Evansi is kept on its own with no other Evansi, a 75 gallon tank is enough.   Anthias species are all characterized by the feature that they are hermaphroditic. If the dominant male dies the biggest female in the group may change to replace it.   Once they have adapted to the fresh aquarium, the anthias perform optimally when given a variety of diet of mysis shrimp frozen as well as enriched brine shrimp frozen and, over time, may consume premium flake foods in small amounts throughout the daytime. A separate refugium for the cultivation of amphipods and copepods offers an unending supply of nutritious living food to maintain the active planktivore levels.   Evansian Anthias Evansi Anthias can be difficult to keep and isn't suitable for novice aquarists.   Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 1-1/4" to 2"; Medium: 2" to 3"; Large: 3" to 4"
