Carberryi anthias behavior

[slipknotgrrl83]

Quick question... I just got a pair and the both like to hang out in the very corner of the tank hugging the wall head facing down.... is this normal? This is my first time with anthias. They are eating which is good!

Normal for the beginning, as long as they don't have a swim bladder issue. They do better in groups.

They swam normal at the lfs so hoping they will be swimming normal soon. Thank you.

Get a few more to help them settle in.

Another peaceful anthias species, such as dispar or randalls, may help too.

How big a group you recommend 4? 5?
