Adding more anthias

[jamesx0]

I bought 4 Bartlett's anthias online two weeks ago and only one female made it past 48 hours. I am planning on getting more females in the near future. I was wondering what everybody's opinion was on finishing QT for my single anthias vs. adding more females to QT when my single female has about 1 week left in QT. My concern is having a female from the second group turn male in the 4-5 weeks in QT.

I would QT anthias for 6 weeks minimum and feed them a little a lot of times a day. Do you have a male in your DT? Or a male in this group your referring to?

i did this before. a female turned male. and was bigger then a mid-change male. the newly turned male destroyed the mid-change. Results were not pretty.

Right now, I only have the single female in QT. She will be in there at least 3 weeks before I can take another delivery. If I leave her in with the others, I would only get more females.

Then it's kinda up to you, the biggest female will always change male if no males are present
