Keeping Bicolor Anthias in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons
• Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other reef-safe fish, but can be territorial with conspecifics or similar-looking species if not introduced properly or in sufficient numbers. Best kept in groups (harem) with one male and multiple females.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established reef aquarium with ample live rock for hiding and perching. A tight-fitting lid is essential as they are known jumpers.
