Lyretail Anthias

Posted on at


Also known as the Scalefin, the Sea Goldie, and the Lyretail Coralfish, this popular saltwater fish can be hard to keep because it requires live or frozen food. These fish have a wide range; they have been found in the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf, and the Pacific. They normally live on coral reefs in the wild, and like other species of aquarium fish, they do change sex occasionally.
