Hey guys,
I currently have a Reefer 350 with the following stock list:
2 clowns, flasher wrasse, Midas blenny, yellow clown goby, Tomini tang and one female lyretail anthia. Everybody gets along great.
The anthia was bought recently, I saw her in the store, didn’t really consider anthias before because of feeding requirements but saw her eating pellets and flakes. She’s still eating anything I throw in the tank so I’m very happy with that.
Now you can see where I’m going, I’m really loving the behaviour of that fish and would like to add more but I’m questioning a few thinks.
I’ve read about tank size and I’m obviously in the lower end. Would it still be okay to have a group of 3/4 lyretails or should I stick with one?
Does the fact my anthia eats prepared food means the others are more likely to accept it if they’re not already doing so?
How bad can agression get in a small group? I’d obviously would rather have one anthia eating anything and doing well than a group that will end up with one picky anthia because of agression. I mostly don’t have any issue feeding several times a day (I work mostly from home) but there are times I’ll leave for a few days and rely on the auto feeder.
thanks!
