Anthias

[Fizzio]

Just got this fish the other day and was wondering if anybody could help with identifying what type of Anthias it is...It was said to be bicolor but I don't know if that is true or not as I have looked it up and don't think it looks the same as the photo I found...Thanks Dave

I was going to say a female lyretail anthias but the lower fins look to be a bit of a different colouration...

Look through these articles...

Hopefully you can find the type you have.

It pays to do your homework prior to purchase, make sure you are feeding and are prepared to continually feed your new charges several times per day.

Thanks..it does resemble the bicolor...I do feed several times daily and a variety of foods...this fish was eating in the store which I always make them feed before purchasing as well as type of foods..He has been eating a variety of foods since I got him on Friday and immediately ate about an hour after acclimatizing him...once again thanks for your help
