Collecting fish from that depth takes specialized deep diving and slow decompression so the fish arrive healthy, which is why it is seen so rarely and so little is known about it in the wild. Its yellow-and-pink checkerboard pattern and long trailing fins make it a true collector's fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eOdontanthias borbonius\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eastern Asia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small (1.5\" - 2\"), Medium (2\" - 2.5\"), Medium-Large (2.5\" - 3\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Aggressive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum aquarium:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72-78°F, pH 8.1-8.4, specific gravity 1.020-1.025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood tankmates:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swallowtail angels, fairy wrasses, gobies and other peaceful reef fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Other anthias, unless added together at a small size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCare Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardy and long-lived once settled, but slow-growing; reaches about 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhat aggressive toward other anthias; best kept as the only one in the tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColors can look muted for the first few weeks while it settles in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeds readily on meaty foods and usually learns to accept pellets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow to Buy, Pickup \u0026amp; Shipping\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConditioned (7-Day Hold):\u003c\/strong\u003e your fish usually reaches us the day after you order.
