Pseudanthias squamipinnis (female)

Pseudanthias squamipinnis, commonly known as the Lyretail anthias, is a medium-sized Pseudanthias species, which comes in all kind of purple/red/orange hues. Females are always orangish though.

Like all anthias, it's an active fish, rarely shy, 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!
