Lyretail anthias eating

[Freddy0144]

Look what I picked up today! I’m excited to try it!

I word of advice, I use RODI tubing to float in the tank, like a feeding circle. Otherwise this stuff will float away down the overflow and a little goes a long way.

Took a few months but my anthia has taken to pellets, I feed TDO and PE pellets. Was a great day the first time I saw him grabbing them!

I may have to pick up some of that TDO stuff.

Do you have a picture of this creation?

I use a magnetic feeding ring that I have positioned under my smart pellet feeder.
Most of them are round, but I found a magnetic one that was square shaped, so it fits/floats nicely in the corner of my tank.

Let me know if you have any luck

Will do! I have 11 lyretail anthias so it will be interesting to see how they react.

Update: fed the TDO Chroma Boost for the first time and it looks like the anthias and the rest of my fish consumed them! I’m pretty surprised since I’ve had terrible luck with previous fish in the past, mainly with NLS and Ocean Nutrition pellets, but TDO seems to be very good! I didn’t need to starve any of the fish lol.

I think I’m a fan!

I just put two lyretail anthias in my tank for the most part I auto feed pellets. For the easy way to go about keeping the fish happy. I thought the anthias would join with all the other fish. But they won’t eat pellets. Just frozen food. Not sure if I have the time to keep up with there needs? I just started a monthly subscription of pods from algae barn. Will this be enough to keep them happy? And will they learn to accept pellets over time?

Mne much prefer mixed frozen foods such as LRS, RODs and Hikari brand

Mine are fed 1 (weekends sometimes) to 3 times a day (my tank is at work). They enjoy frozen, but keep feeding both (mine eat frozen, flake, and small pellets). When fully acclimated and doing well they will eat anything you put in the tank with gusto (minus nori).

96"! I was wondering why those fish looked small

So one of my anthias started destroying pellets and the other still hasn’t eaten. The one that was eating I found dead this morning and the other is hiding in rocks and still not eating. Not sure what is going on. All my parameters are good in tank.

I have four anthias (2x lyretail, 2x marcia's) and they get fed 2x frozen and 4x pellet daily. They do eat the pellets, but I have a mix of NFS Marine, NFS Algae and Nyos Sweet Aloe/Gogi/True Algae.

any signs of agression or disease?

Only aggression is my clownfish bullies everyone in the tank. The one that died today was out swimming and eating a ton yesterday. And the other one has just been hiding in rocks I hope a haven’t spread some crazy disease thru the tank

How long have you had them? We're these pre-quarantined?

About a week. And not quarantined
