One of the more shy anthias in the trade. Most speciemens fail to acclimate due to their shyness and tankmate aggression. If they can not readily acclimate they may easily contract disease and die. |

The Longfin Anthias (Pseudanthias ventralis) belongs to the family named Serranidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.0 inches in length, the Longfin Anthias is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pseudanthias ventralis should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in sizeand in general should have low (2 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
