notes
   This species can really cause some headaches in a reef tank. They tend to harrass other fish with similar eating habits. They have no lighting preference but retain color more in lower lights.   
overview
  
The Redbelted Anthias (Pseudanthias rubrizonatus) is sometimes called a Redgirdled Anthias, a Redbar Anthias, a Redband Anthias, or a Tricolor Anthias. It belongs to the family named Serranidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.0 inches in length, the Redbelted Anthias is semi-aggressive 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 rubrizonatus should not be housed in a tank less than 55 gallons in size. 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.
