V tail/smaller grouper with large anthias

[CC_N]

Can a school of large anthias live with an v tail grouper ? I think it should be ok because anthias are quite fast. Also do they feel comfortable in fowlr tank ?(I plan to got fake painted coral for some details giving the reef edge effect

As long as you don't mind losing the odd one for a nice light snack, probably. I wouldn't say they're particularly fast (unless properly motivated). You might be ok though.

Anthias are a pretty steady food supply for a lot of groupers in the wild. I would not recommend. Groupers can swallow things bigger than half their size if they're determined, I watched my old 12" miniatus eat an 8" male lunare Wrasse.

Maybe got them in my reef. Could a group of fully grown square back live happily in a 5fter ?

They get pretty big, the males especially so. The squarespot also tend to fade colorwise in captivity. For a 5' reef with no predators, I'd look at lyretail, bartletts, bimaculatus, or rubrizonatus. All great hardy choices

Maybe I just get rid of the grouper from the waiting list thou. But still can’t have a mixed reef. Do anthias do well in fowlr tank

Can the fish lives in a 6x2ft blue prints ? May i keep more groupers ?( mostly ones that don't grow bigger than a foot ex miniatus, blueline, etc...)
