Squareback Anthias

[Jfknigh2]

I recently acquired 1 male and three females for my 230 gallon system (180 gallon DT and 50 gallon sump). They are absolutely beautiful. I know that they need to be fed 3-4 times a day. The male and two females have been eating PE Mysis readily. The other female seems more stressed. They were added last night and are hanging out in the rocks and not really swimming around that much except when I put food into the system. I'm sure they are still acclimating to their surroundings,

but I want to make sure that I am doing all that I can to make sure that they are happy. I am going to get some LRS reef/fish frenzy tomorrow to see if that makes any difference in their feeding response. So, what I am asking is, those of you that have had success with these fish, could share some pointers/tips?

Yikes, I added the photo incorrectly. I did this from my iPad, so excuse me. Still figuring things out.

They can take awhile to get acclimated to new surroundings, so the fact most of them are eating is good. Just be patient and be observant to any noticeable changes.

Sounds like you're on the right path. Nice pic :wink:

I started out feeding twice a day and back off to 1 feeding a day. It took about 2 months to do. They are doing awesome for the past 6 months

They take a few days to get acclimated to new environment. Mine will only eat brine shrimp. It does very well in 75 gal reef. One of my favorites!
