Purple Queen Anthias

[MimicOcto8]

Hey i'm so excited. i've had all 5 of my purple queen anthias for almost 2 months now and they are alllll thriving and healthy. big eaters and so beautiful. everyone that comes over comments on them. anyone else out there have good luck with them?

 

[akabryanhall]

Those are just ridiculous!!!!! I have heard they are difficult to keep, please keep us updated on how you keep them healthy!!

love anthias and the purple queens do have a bad rep for life in the aquarium. i'll keep you guys postes on their status

 

[dougers31]

Absolutely stunning! Can you give us some info on the tank and filtration? Guessing you're feeding them several times a day..?

Where did you get them? What's your secrets (feeding, etc.....)? I have always loved them, but don't want to kill them.

 

[MimicOcto8]

ordered them from a friend. As soon as I got them i fed 3 times a day. but I think what really helped them was the dispare teaching them to eat or something. So other than having an established tank I just fed them 3 times a day

Man, I think feeding 3 times a day will be out of my hands, I guess once before work then twice after 5.

Strong work! They are beautuful fish. Having other fish that eat great are excellent examples to finiky eaters!

Nice what are you feeding? I have had mine for a while, at first I feed 3 times a day but now I don't feed as much, now I just feed a lil more efficient.
