The Carberryi Anthias does best when kept in a species-specific tank of at least 70-gallons for a group. The Anthias dwells in the middle of a tank but appreciates the availability of several hiding places.

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.

The diet is consistent with other members of the Anthias group - zooplankton and floating filamentous algae. In the aquarium, it should be fed a varied diet of mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, frozen preparations and other meaty items for zooplankton feeders. They prefer to be fed small quantities, several times daily.

Approximate Purchase Size: 2" to 3"

I have 3 carberryi anthias from liveaquaria and they are just so beautiful!! One has already started turning into a male and boy is that a site to see! They are very active fish and so eye catching! They seem to be a bit finicky about their foods, but I am trying to wean them to pellet foods. They absolutely love cyclops frozen food though! They pair nicely with a cleaner shrimp as well as they LOVE to be cleaned.

I have 3 Carberryi Anthias from Drs. Foster Smith and they are healthy, active, beautiful fish. Surprisingly, they are probably even easier to keep than Bartletts. I have them mixed in with some Bartletts and Lyretail Anthias and they all sometimes school together, quite a sight. I have an Eheim automatic feeder dispensing a small amount of flake and cyclopeeze four times a day since all of the information I read on Anthias suggest multiple small feedings through the day. I also feed frozen and refrigerated foods when I can. And Drs. Foster and Smith is the only place I've ever seen Carberryis offered, and their service is second to none. Great, easy fish!
