Anthias for a 180 and care

[morgan175]

Well after a year I did a rescape of my tank and gave some other reefers some fish. I got rid of the meanest powder brown tang ever. He must of killed 10 fish.

As of now I’ve been working on a cbb. Trying to get her to eat and feel totally safe. I did keep a pair of clowns. After a couple weeks I would like to add some Anthias. Everything I’ve read leads me to lyretail Anthias. Just wondering what type of dry food would also work. Seems to be a tiny food I’m looking for. When I’m home I can feed lrs and rods.


Any advice would be appreciated.

A number of years ago I had lyretails.. They eventually took very well to pellets but I don't think they'll take them off the surface, they'll need to be in good flow. Probably the most likely of all anthias to eat pellets

I have lyretails in qt now. Have yet to see them eat pellets. They tear up lrs, rods, mysis, and rods

It may take a couple of weeks of training, but lyretails can usually be enticed to start eating pellets. I've used New Life Spectrum ther A 1mm sinking pellets with anthias. I have the pellets drop over a spot where flow is breaking the surface.

How many females and males do you all add. I was thinking 4 and 1

That would be good.
