SaraB's Anthias "school"

[gparr]

Sara has a small group of nine or ten anthias. Seven of them are regularly out feeding in the open water. The others are still hiding as they get used to the tank. This is the first time I've tried to shoot a group of fish such as this. These four seemed to work out decently.

Wow, are those splitfins?

I have no idea. I'm sure Sara can give us an ID when she next logs in.

I got them from LiveAquaria's Divers Den ... my favorite fish outlet :nerd:

Awesome photos Gary!

Sara...I am SO making a trip out to your house one of these days....I always thought a large school of anthais would be the bomb...I'd love to see a video of them in the tank....are they eating well?

The fish in the Diver's Den photo look nothing like yours. It'll be interesting to see if yours end up matching the DD photo or stay the way they look now. I prefer the way they look now. Much more colorful.
