Pseudanthias cheirospilos (female)

Pseudanthias cheirospilos, commonly known as the Cheirospilos anthias, is a medium-sized Pseudanthias species, very closely related to P. squamipinnis. It's a very colourful fish, with the male being mostly purple with yellow and red, and the female more orange with a pink stripe coming from the eye. Like all anthias, it's an active fish, which is best kept in a group/school of at least 4-6 fishes. When buying a school you don't need to worry about sex ratios because these fish are hermaphroditic. This means the most dominant fish will automatically turn into the male when there is no other male around.

Keeping this fish in larger numbers will definitely make it shine. Do make sure they can eat multiple times a day though, because in nature they feed on zooplankton the entire day and are not build for one meal a day!
