Picked up some Bartlett Anthias

[revhtree Verified Admin]

My lfs has had a tank full of Bartlett's for like 6 months now and all are healthy and eat like pigs. I decided to pick up 3 of them yesterday. 1 Male and 2 Females. They are staying together in the tank and eating like crazy already. Is there anything I should know about these that I may not know?

I'll get pics when they become a little less skiddish! ;)

JUMPERS! I'll bet you knew that already though. Bartlett's are a favorite of mine too, I wish I had room for a few myself.

They are so pretty. I can't wait to see the pictures. I wish I had the room too Poseidon

You think 3 will be ok in my 120g?

They should be fine Dave. The Bartletts don't get near as aggressive as the lyertails do. I bet they will get along fine. Of course the male is gonna harass the females some but shouldn't be too bad. Can't wait to see pics!!

Can't wait for the pics. Be sure to feed them a wide variety of foods.

I think you will be fine with the 120, I didn't notice a TON of other fish on your build thread.

I love my Bartlett's. I've got 4. 1 male 3 ladies to make his harem. They are jumpers, so be aware of that - especially once the male starts showing off more and more, chances are high that'll be the one to jump :(

Mine eat everything and anything, PE Mysis, Rod's Food,live brine (a treat), flake and pellet.

I love these guys...I definitely want a group of them if I ever go to a bigger tank. Had one for quite a while. Mine never jumped but he did develop pop-eye and lost one of his eyes. Lasted for quite a while longer until he finally died (not sure why). I liked him a lot though.
