well they are in the tank and have huddled up into a tight group.they also ate food within 10 minutes of being put in,to me that is a good sign.
here are some crappy pics of them.

I like the Anthias! I like that overbite like the Bartlett's. I think it's cute.

thank you Monica,i just hope they all do well for me.

Very nice. You have to love when fish eat within minutes of going in the tank.

CMcNeil · 08/22/2008, 09:09 PM

every fish i have had that has eaten right away has done good for me.so i think these guys will be fine.i looked them up in a book at FAIOS and it said they huddle together and swim close at all times but are active and not shy.it also said they are good in both deep and shallow reefs

W Ellis · 08/22/2008, 09:23 PM

I will have to come check them out in person 1 of these days. Im trying to figure out what kind of schooling fish i want. Do they have the tendency to be aggressive towards each other like other anthias?

CMcNeil · 08/22/2008, 09:30 PM

i was just reading and it said they do better with other types of anthias with them.

W Ellis · 08/22/2008, 10:36 PM

Thats good to hear because i already have the lyretails.

CMcNeil · 08/23/2008, 06:04 PM

these guys are eating like pigs,i fed them 3 times today and all 3 times the anthias went crazy and pounded the food.

here are some shots from today

CMcNeil · 08/23/2008, 06:08 PM

here is a video of them

forddna · 08/23/2008, 06:26 PM

That's good to hear. My Bartlett's eat, but they hardly "pound" the food. I wish they did - I'd sleep better at night. I lost one of the three I bought, and I have no idea why. Didn't even find a body. Don't know if she was murdered, didn't eat, or what.

Those guys look kinda plump..are they bigger than Bartlett's?

mflamb · 08/23/2008, 06:26 PM

I hope your Bellus does well. Mine is one of my favorites. She spends lots of time swimming in and out of the rocks.

screamincamaro · 08/23/2008, 06:35 PM

My Bellus is one of favorites. Great eater, doesn't even look at zoa's or SPS, and doesn't pay any attention to the other fish in the tank.

Really nice anthias also!

i hope so too Mike,so far my mimic tang is kind of picking on the bellus but nothing major.im sure in a few days they will be fine with each other.i really like this fish,i didnt want to sell the golden but at least i found a perfect replacement at the right time.

Gimplar · 08/23/2008, 07:17 PM

CMcNeil · 08/23/2008, 07:30 PM
