Odontanthia Borbonius-Checked Anthia

There's a pic of this fish on the front cover of the latest Foster Smith catalog. I had to look it up and I'm glad I did....very cool fish !

Quite the phsycodelic paint job..eh !

It's rarely found in the hobby as it's a deep water species....price tags that I've been able to see are way up over $200.00.....soooo....I won't be bringing one of these beauties home any time in the near future....unless there's a sudden glut in the market, which is unlikely.

One can always hope though....

That is way cheaper then they were 6 months ago when they just started to become common. They were double that. I got one about 6 months ago and he is doing great and far more hardier than other anthias. Handles himself well considering the other fish he is with. Here are some pics of him. Great fish and highly recommend this fish to anyone. Regards, Tim
