Beautiful, I wish you the best with them I've never had long term success with them mine have always dropped around 2 years or so give or take a few month never figured out why they are for sure one of my favorites but I can't handle anymore losses of them!

 

[SteezySPS]

Sweeeet! Wish you luck with those. they look very similar to the Flavoguttatus Anthias

Thanks...if I can keep these for over 2 yrs I will be happy..I have had purple queens before and those were a lot of work, but I am kind of used to it. I enjoy feeding them and have a huge over sized ATB skimmer...AKA The Beast.

Thanks Steezy...I think Flavoguttatus Anthias is another name for them.

Sweet Anthias!

Thanks!! Man these things really glow...when I took these pic's they were under my Fiji purple bar and it lit them up LOL.

 

[Reefer831]

Thanks This is my first run with these. I plan to have nothing but anthais and a few other small friendly friends. I have never seen these in person until now, and I think they are my favorite anthais now.

lol. too late you're addicted to anthias! as far as my experience with anthas i did have Bimaculatus, bartletts, tricolors, pink squarebacks, and red sea lyretails in my 180g all living together. there wasn't any problems with any.

I just got 3 on Saturday but no signs of them after putting them in the tank. Hopefully they will pop out soon.

LOL I have been addicted to anthais for a few years now, and now that I am putting together a new tank I think I will be going with almost all anthais..

Dis you get them from Robbert? give them a few days and they will come out...every anthais I have put into the tank has hid for the first few days...make sure you feed them at least 3 times a day.

 

[slk55r]

Yes, got them from Robert.

I did notice 2 of them ... cant see the third yet. But they were both hiding out in a cave. Eating well though.

Cool...Robbert is a friend of mine and has a great shop. Now what you need to do is go and pick up some Nutramar Ova, I have had success with it with all mt anthais and any other non eating fish..it's the only thing they will eat..and FEED FEED FEED....anthais love to be feed all day.

 

[boehm742]

I have lyrtails but man those are even sweeter! nice find!

 

[Jpurpz831]

those anthias are sickk bro

 

[Aquaph8]

Really cool fish man. How similar are they to purple queens as far as care? Check out a food called H20 life, they make a mini mysis food that my queens really love.

 

[slk55r]

yes nutramar ova is part of the feed routine. Although I noticed the were also eating the frozen mysis.

So the tiger queens anthias are fairly hardy?
