You are flowers on the seabed. Even your Japanese names have 'flowers' in them. Lovely!

Fishtober Day 27 - Purple Queen Anthias

Check out the creator! ^ [@/fishiscrazy] 🐟

Purple Queen Anthias are commonly kept in fish tanks. It's recommended that they're kept in a ratio of 1:2 males to females and in larger tanks, 2:6. They're very delicate fish and shouldn't be kept in tanks under 180 gallons [680 litres] as they fair best in groups.

Whilst they mainly eat zooplankton, they can also eat meat [and other frozen foods] and as deepwater fish they dislike light. Also, they're very friendly towards other fish!

I've done Anthias before! I was like Teri! Teri I want to try and do orange and pink together. So I did!

Every fish tank should have an Anthias… and every home should have a fish tank!

The two-spotted ground beetle, Anthia thoracica

These fearsome, extremely fast and active hunters are native to Africa where they run down prey. When they find themselves on the defensive, they can shoot a strong jet of acid from their pygidial gland. They are thus called “oogpister” – meaning "eye pisser."

This little bug is a roach!

While pretty in appearance the reasons for its pattern is to mimic the six spot ground beetle.

Whose known to use an acid like spray as defense.
