Can you keep anthias in a 40g. They only get 3.5 inches? But their recommended for a 70g:blob:

Hello all, I am planning a 100 gallon set up round about Christmas and have set Emmy sights on Dispar Anthias. However, despite looking up information left right and centre, I can't seem to find some answers to my questions. And so I turn to the wise Reef Tank :thumbup: 1) Do you personally...

So I have been interested in having a group of fish recently, but am having a hard time deciding on anything. I know most fish don't "school" in aquara like they do in the wild, but I think a group of fish would help complete the "reefyness" of my tank. My tank is 120 gallons with a 30 gallon...

Hello Everyone, I currently have 2 Indian Ocean Lyretail Anthias, a small orange Lyretail which I believe is female and a large pink Lyretail which I believe is male. These 2 have lived together in peace for about 2 years. This past week the small orange fish has gotten very aggressive and has...

Hi folks, I have a male and 2 female Lyretail Anthias in qt, just got them a couple days ago. seem to be eating well for just 2 days in the tank. I have read that I need to give them vitamin C, can anyone elaborate on this. is it for the picky ones that don't seem to want to eat? is it a...

Hello everyone, I have a 55 gallon aquarium that has been up for about 5 months. I currently have a pair of clowns, a bangai cardinal, and a purple dottyback. I am wondering if a blennie/goby and an anthias would be good choices for the last fish to add to the aquarium and if they would be...

So I got an Anthia's and two clowns the other day, as I said in a prior post. This morning when I turned on my tank lights the fish came out as usual. I stepped away briefly to go grab some food for them. I come back to see the Anthia's hanging out with the Clownfish, and be puffs his fins up...

I'm in love with both of these anthias, and have been contemplating adding one, or both to my reef. I've read they're deep water anthias, so will they be ok in a reef setting (warming water, brighter lights, ect) ?? I wouldn't be adding them for about another week, so I thought I'd do some...

I am really wanting a small school of anthias for my 120 gallon FOWLR tank. I currently have a scopas tang, sailfin tang, blue eye kole, arch eye hawkfish, two ocellaris clowns and a chocolate chip starfish. I was wondering how many could I put in my tank? I'm not planning on getting any other...

I was checking http://www.aqadvisor.com/ and its giving me that i can put 2 dispar anthias in my 21 gallon tank? and i did a search on google and 1 dispar anthias need 70 gallon so is this website is not working or what :idea:?

Merry Christmas!! :D Since it's the holidays I'm thinking that this would be the perfect time for me to finally order a blotched anthia! :woohoo: The problem is, I'm not sure where from? :confused: So far NY Aquatics has them for the cheapest price of $200, but I've read some pretty bad...

Ok i'm setting up my 150 G reef tank, i'll have a school of 7 chromis, one yellow tank, 2 picasso clown and their anemone, a mandarin later on, and i want a school if possible of 5 Anthias . o what are the easiest for that. Mainly to keep. ome are easier than others, to feed , some are easier...

I'm wondering about getting anthias, because of the feeding requirements. If i feed them only twice or 3 time a day would they be ok ? I don't want to rely on automatic feeders while i'm gone they're too messy.

Hi all I am a new marine tank owner, based in Saudi Arabia where there are only 2 shops that deal in stock and related tank products, so not everything is available and not everyone knows what they are talking about. I am also new so please bear with me if I dont know all the names and...

I have a 29 gallon biocube, set up for about seven months, which is stocked with two firefish and a Yellow Assessor basslet. I'm looking to keep a single anthias in this tank. Is it possible, and which species do you reccomend if it is? I know they generally do better in groups but I wanted your...

Hey, I'm looking into buying a blotched anthia and wanted to ask how everyone feels about keeping them? They seem to be pretty hardy and somewhat easy to care for if healthy when purchased. Anyone have any info otherwise or can agree? Thanks :)

Hey everyone - So I added my first fish to my 125 on Saturday after having it up since January. He's a very nice 4" squarespot anthias. When I bought him he was very chunky and brightly colored. I know these fish can be shy and the pocket guide to marine fish says he can take about a week to...

Hi All, I woke this morning to find a worm on my Anthias that looks like a Roly Poly. Can anyone identify this and advise as to how to address this problem? I am also wondering if this has potential to become a tank epidemic. Photo Attached. It is blurry but you can see it on the bottome...
