I've been wading through all of the posts that come up when I search for "pink square" but can't seem to find anyone who's keeping this fish successfully. I'm trying to work out a stock list for the 75 I have in the works, and just had my first face to face with this awesome looking guy at the lfs. If you're keeping a male, with or without females in the tank, please respond.
I think you mean Pseudoanthias pleurotaenia. If you Google, using the scientific name will usually get more results. I kept a trio for a while and gave them to a friend after one female jumped out. They are tough to acclimate, IMO, because they come from quite deep water. This also makes them sensitive to the brighter lights in most tanks. Their colors are known to fade over time, mine did. They are also bigger and tougher to feed ( need bigger food) than most anthias. IMO, a 75 would be too small for a single male and much too small for a pair or trio. BTW, how can you tell if a fish is "happy"?
