anthias

I'd like someone who has experience with the Square Spot Anthias because I've been considering a few for my stocking list but I want to hear some feedback first. The tank in question will be 125 gallons and 72 inches long. On LiveAquaria, the Squarespot Anthias is said to require 100 gallons...

Hey guys, I currently have a Reefer 350 with the following stock list: 2 clowns, flasher wrasse, Midas blenny, yellow clown goby, Tomini tang and one female lyretail anthia. Everybody gets along great. The anthia was bought recently, I saw her in the store, didn’t really consider anthias...

I'm in the final stages of my QT for my Yellow Tang and Lyretail Anthias. They have been readily eating medicated food (GC+Focus+Mysis and Brine Shrimp Mix+Garlic) with ample appetites. I keep a pvc pipe with nori attached to it since my Tang isn't particularly good at finding nori on a veggie...

You guys.... I’m so excited. We just added 3 Borbs to our tank yesterday and they’re just the most beautiful fish. Here’s a photo of one that I got this morning. :)

Hi everyone! My first time posting here! I’m looking for some advice on fish stocking for my 120gal mixed reef. The tank is 5’x2’x2’. I have a large sump in the basement - total water volume 170gal. The tank has been up and running for 3 years (including a house move) and has a majority of SPS...

I was wanting to have a small school of Anthias so I purchased a trio of Pseudanthias ignitus Anthias. Unfortunately, only one of the 3 made the shipment from Divers Den. Question is, do I have to purchase more Pseudanthias ignitus, to get a school. I was thinking of add some Nemanthias...

I picked up this ventralis anthias from my LFS yesterday. It's been there for over two months, eating like a pig, with no signs of diseases. I skipped QT and put it in an acclimation box in my DT. Today I noticed a diagonal white stripe on each side of its body, of what seems to be damaged...

Hello Guys, Were moving out of the state within the year. I’m selling the set-up equipments and livestocks. But have to sell the livestocks before I can ship or have the equipments picked up. Buy more to save. Livestocks are for pick up only unless you want to pay for shipping and shipping...

I recently added 1 male and 5 females to the DT. They seem to be competing for food just fine and I have no indications that anything is wrong. But I also have no idea if things are right either. I work from home which allows the luxury of feeding the fish 5-6 times throughout the day most of...

Compatibility??? 4in Male Square Anthias in the same 180g 6ft tank as a 2in Sunburst Anthias

Howdy all! 2 weeks ago I rebooted my 65 gallon mixed reef and I'm starting to restock it. Currently the only livestock in the tank is a serpent star and yellow cucumber, as well as a few softies/zoas that have been with me for years. I'm looking for some ideas for restocking the tank- not sure...

Hi all, wondering if I can put 4-5 species of Anthiases together, all as individuals. I know this isn't normal practice, but wondering if they will get along. So something like 1 Bartlett, 1 Lyretail, 1 Dispar, 1 Bimaculatus, and 1 Resplendent. I guess I'm asking if anyone has tried this or...

Received my 3 lyretail from LA last week 2 F 1M. Acclimated and put in QT was th no meds to observe til eating well. Male died after day one and now females are eating like pigs. One however is hiding with my tank qt resident YWG who wasn’t being treated well by my lawnmower Blenny. Long story...

This tank was set up in April 2017 and never thought of making a build thread until now. It has a slight cyano issue which I'm working on but doesn't want to go away. It was second hand and so I don't know much about the equipment which came with it. It has a deltaec skimmer and a medic media...

I am setting up a new 30 gallon tank. For reference it is a shallow cube 24x24x12. I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a single anthias in a tank this size, and if so which species. I have read a few posts here and there about success, but nothing recent and nothing super firm. I...

Hello all, Two weeks ago I purchased a Male Lyretail Anthias (medium size). I haven't been able to get him to eat anything. I feel all hope may be lost because today I tried live blackworms and saw him spit them out. I tried Capelin Fish Roe (fish eggs), I tried LRS Reef Frenzy, I tried Hikari...

I have a harem of lyre tail anthias and want to add a different type of anthias. Which species would get along with the lyre tail? I'm looking for anthias that are not orange (purple queen, ventralis). Anyone with experience keeping multiple species I would appreciate the input. I have a 280...

I want to have 6 or so Anthias in my new build. I want to get them now and put them in quarantine now so they will be viable to move to the DT when its ready. How many can be together, and whats the best way to keep them from being aggressive? Are their any fish they can't be housed with? I'd...

Hello folks, Got three lyretail anthias today, as part of a buy 2 get one free Black Friday deal at the LFS. They were all housed together with 3-4 others. Got them home, acclimated and such and they were very timid at first, huddled together in the upper corner of the tank- away from the...

I heard the Lyretail looks better, but is harder to maintain. I am leading towards the Bartletts but I just want to know how they do in schools? How many do I need? How do they do with other fish such as tangs? And how long does it take for them to school. Thanks.

Hi All, I have a very active happily eating peach anthias but I have noticed that on 1 side its stomach area is swollen. Would it most likely be a swim bladder issue? Whats the likelihood of it self resolving? It is swimming 100% you have to look quite closely to notice but like most things...
