What's your opinion on these Anthias. Feeding habits? tank size? temperament?

How many are you thinking on? For one a 70 gallon would be ok. But more you will want 180 gallon or bigger. They are big eaters and should be feed small amounts throughout the day, at least 3 times a day

big eaters as mentioned, they will beg a lot, and teach your other fish to beg. At feeding time they will zip around and try to get all the food before anyone else does. They are mostly good with other fish but can be jerks sometimes.

I had three and two managed to jump out so I have one left. mine will only eat frozen. he spits out the pellet food. so I haven't been able to get them on my auto feeder for that. I thinks its because the pellets are too hard because they try to eat them.
