Distribution of Pseudanthias flavoguttatus

[suta4242]

I am curious about the distribution of these fish outside Japan, ie which other countries do they enter the trade through?

Further to that is their collection seasonal?



Thanks for your time. :wave:

They're native to Japan, Philippines, Palau, Indonesia, and the Ryuku Islands.

I believe these fish tend to show up in the early spring as they often enter shallower waters in the winter, esp. near cold water upwellings.

IME, these fish didn't do well in a group. They were fine for months, then picked each other off with a vengeance (we now have a single specimen that is doing very well and is a couple of years in our possession).
