The **Bartlett's Anthias** is a vibrant and eye-catching small reef fish. These fish display a predominantly pink body with a yellow back and orange accents. Males are typically a bit darker in hue.

**Bartlett's Anthias** can grow up to 3 inches and are suitable for tanks starting at 55 gallons. For groups, a larger tank is recommended. They thrive in small schools, ideally with all females or a single male, as multiple males may fight. Without a male, the dominant female may change to male.

These fish are peaceful towards non-anthias species and are reef-safe, making them a great addition to reef aquariums. However, they should not be placed in aggressive tanks as they are not good at defending themselves. A tank with ample live rock provides hiding spots if they feel threatened.

As carnivores, **Bartlett's Anthias** need a diet rich in meaty foods. Brine and mysis shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and premium pellet and flake foods will help them thrive. They require feeding at least twice daily, as one large meal is insufficient for their active nature.
