Pyronotanthias lori is a beautifully coloured anthias species known for its vibrant hues and peaceful temperament. This species is best suited to experienced marine aquarists due to its specific care requirements and preference for well-established reef systems.
Temperament and Compatibility: Pyronotanthias lori is generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish species. It is recommended to keep them in groups or harems to encourage natural behaviour, but care should be taken to avoid overcrowding.
Diet: This anthias species thrives on a varied diet consisting mainly of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and specialised marine pellets or flakes. Frequent feeding multiple times a day is advised to maintain optimal health.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 150 litres is recommended to provide ample swimming space and stable water conditions. The aquarium should be mature with plenty of live rock for hiding and resting spots.
Water Parameters and Environment: Maintain stable marine conditions with a temperature range of 24-27°C, salinity of 1.023-1.025, and pH between 8.1 and 8.4. Moderate water flow and good filtration are essential to replicate their natural habitat.
Reef Compatibility: Pyronotanthias lori is considered reef safe with caution. While generally peaceful, they may occasionally nip at very small or delicate invertebrates, so monitor interactions closely.
