Other Common Names

Bartlett's Fairy Bass Anthias

Description

Bartlett’s Anthias is able to adapt to both bright and dim aquaria with ease and is considered one of the easier of the Anthias family to keep in brightly lit reef aquariums. Bartlett’s Anthias, like most Anthias, are peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful community fish ,but care should be taken to ensure that you keep only one male per tank as they will likely fight with each other.

Because of their higher metabolism and constant activity in the water column, Bartlett’s Anthias require multiple feedings each day. Most Anthias prefer dimly lit tanks, though there are a few that will learn to adjust to brighter lights of reef aquariums and will spend most of their time swimming in the water column and will need an ample open water column to do so.

Diet

Bartlett’s Anthias are zooplankton feeders so care should be taken to feed meaty foods for zooplankton feeders. Frozen zooplankton foods will be more readily accepted than flake or pellet until the Bartlett’s Anthias grow accustomed to a captive diet. Feed at least 4 times daily.
