You want a more challenging anthias? I’m still trying to keep lyretail long enough to graduate to the display. They just seem to die from uronema!
I would appreciate hearing your method of achieving success with these lyretail anthias.

There's a million ways to skin a cat, but for me it was Hikari mysis (smaller), fish eggs. "Grow pellets". Anything smaller and lots of flow and hiding spots. I was also able to quarantine my group of 6 for 3 months. I eventually gave them to a friend and I believe he still has the group 4 years later

How did you decide to quarantine them? TTM? Metro + copper?

I don't think I'd recommend it but it never used copper. Once I got them eating I used anti bacterial and metro on their foods

I didn’t mean to derail your thread! I’m sure the anthias people will come soon.
Dispars are definitely more peaceful anthias. I think they are about as easy as lyretails IMO.
So for your QT you decided on just feeding them metro and antibiotics? You didn’t do anything else? What “antibacterial” did you feed them besides the metro?
