      Bimaculatus Anthias

      I'd like to put this fish up for fish of the month, recently picked up a male and his harem and possibly the most gorgeous fish I've ever seen. Males and females are exceptional.

      Taken from liveaquaria:

      The Bimaculatus Anthias is also known as the Twospot or Twinspot Anthias. The males have one or two spots on their dorsal fin, with a pink head that fades to a vibrant red extending to the tail. Irregular pink bars run horizontally along the body, making this fish one of the most gorgeous of all Anthias. The females of the species are pink with a yellow dorsal, anal and caudal fin. These unique Anthias are beautiful fish for the fish only, invertebrate, or reef aquarium.

      Anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group will often morph to take its place.


      And here are my pics of these amazing fish:

      Beautiful. I want to get them someday.
      What do you feed them and how often?

      Thanks guys, going to try to get some better pics of the male...

      I feed a mixture of different things, PE mysis, rod's reef food, the 5 in 1 tub of mysis, blood worms, algae, brine and whatever the fifth one is. And I try to feed 3 times a day with the anthias in there now.

      Couple more pics of the male now that he is out and about and not so shy. Females are awesome always right out front and inquisitive waiting for food to come in.

      Coolest fish i have ever owned. Mine jumped to its death I had a juvenile female from Shipwreck cove. My clowns showed no aggression to it in fact as crazy as this sounds I think it kept the peace in my tank. It was kinda like that stoner kid in high school that got along with everybody.
