Lyretail Anthias Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Lyretail Anthias in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons
• Compatibility: Generally compatible with most peaceful to semi-aggressive reef-safe fish. Best kept in groups of one male and multiple females. Avoid keeping with overly aggressive or very large predatory fish.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established reef aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and grazing. Needs multiple feedings per day of small, meaty foods due to their high metabolism. Good water quality and strong water flow are essential. Should be introduced in groups, ideally with one male and several females, to establish a natural social hierarchy.
