{"product_id":"pictilis-anthias","title":"PICTILIS ANTHIAS","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlso referred to as the Painted Goldie, the Pictilis Anthias is pinkish-blue, with a large blue oval on the caudal fin, and bright orange-red coloration on the rear 1\/3 of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the larger Anthias species, Pictilis do well with only a single male in a tank with a small group of females of the same species. Although a 125 gallon tank will suffice for one fish, if keeping a group, you may need up to a 180 gallon tank or even larger for best success. Pictilis Anthias prefer a tank with multiple hiding places and caves, and initially prefers lower lighting conditions as they are found in moderately deep water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnthias 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce acclimated to a new aquarium, anthias do best when fed a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and over time may eat high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day. An attached refugium cultivating copepods and amphipods provides a steady supply of nutritious live food sure to keep this active planktivore content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Purchase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small: 1\" to 2-1\/4\"; Medium: 2-1\/4\" to 3-1\/2\"; Large: 3-1\/2\" to 4-3\/4\"; X-Large: 4-3\/4\" to 6\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tropical Fish International","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":48245595209966,"sku":null,"price":26.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":48245595242734,"sku":null,"price":39.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":48245595275502,"sku":null,"price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":48245595308270,"sku":null,"price":63.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/3334\/5006\/files\/lg_84093_Pictilis_Anthias.jpg?v=1783484780","url":"https:\/\/shop.etropicalfish.com\/products\/pictilis-anthias","provider":"Tropical Fish International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
