anthias

Hello everyone! I live in Denver CO, and am brand new to the aquarium world, and while I've been wanting to get into it for years, finally got our tank up and running a few weeks ago! My BIL lives across the country (FL) and does tank maintenance / builds for a living- came out on vacation and...

I would start with water temperature. Being a deep water fish, Anthias are used to live in cooler water environment. Anthias enthusiasts, please chime in. Apart from good water quality and feeding, does Anthias really care about water temperature? If so, do you dial the heater down or...

Am preparing my fallow tank with food for my Sunburst Anthias .. being an anthias, I get that it's very very finicky eater and will start frozen (and mix with flakes). Do you have any experience with Vitalis range, particularly the flakes? Some say more chance the finicky eaters to eat Vitalis...

In 2 foot cube, which should i get Squamipinnis (Lyretail) Or dispar Plan to stock with Chromis and Sunburst

How much Dispar priced on average in USA? And how much Fathead Sunburst priced on average in USA? What's the most common Anthias readily available and stocked in LFS over there?

I've done research but have received conflicting info and have been unable to answer my question: Are 2 male squareback / spot anthias in one tank better for the fish or should I just get one? Does anyone have any experience with this? The rest of the story: A local private fish seller has 2...

Just like the title says I'm looking for a smaller colorful fish that has a lot of movement in my reef tank. I also want to have them in a group of say 3 to 5. My tank is a 70 gallon tank with a Christmas wrasse, tribal blenny, ocellaris clown, mystery wrasse, and a hi hat goby, oh and I have a...

Three days ago I got 3 healthy Anthias from an LFS. They looked active and were all eating frozen mysis. They all died today in my 37-gal QT which has been up and running for 3 weeks. The seachem ammonia badge is showing 0.05 ppm. Last night was the first dose of furan-2 (3 packets for 30 gal...

I am in the middle of day 6 of 3 Dispar Anthias doing TTM QT. I had a sunburst but he didn't make it past day 5. All were eating well (frozen fish eggs) until today. They will pop out a bit but mostly hangout under this foam sponge I have in a 10gal. I did prazi for about half a day before the...
