Anthias Appreciation Thread

[fishfreak2009]

Who here likes anthias? I currently have a pair of dispars, an evansi, and a male pink square in my 340, and still plan on adding a couple more dispar, some lyretails, a couple more evansi, a red belted, and a stocky to the tank.
Here's a pic of my male pink square

I do! I have 6 African/Indian ocean lyretails, one being a terminal male. Gonna add some more as soon as they move into my 240. Thinking of adding some bicolors too

Sorry. This isnt the right place to post this but what would be the most "beginner" (aka easiest to take care of) anthias?

 

[GimpyFin]

+1 for anthias! I Recently lost 2 of my 3 Bartletts that I've had for about 2.5 years. Really bummed me out. Although, to help fill the void I did add a small fathead.

Most are easy to moderate care level. (Ignitus, Dispar, Bartlett, Lyretail, etc.) Steer clear of the Purple queens.

Five lyretail Anthias here. I love watching them interact. First fish out in the morning, last fish out at night. Always follow me from one end of the tank to the other. Never aggressive towards other fish. Never hiding except at night.

A couple bimacs currently, but plan on adding 20-30 bartletts

Currently have four Resplendents (7 more in QT) but have previous kept Bartletts, Bicolors, Bimacs, Olives, and Specks. So I guess I'm not hater.

One of my LFS specialize in rare fish and can get pretty much anything, he gets those quite often.

What about the the square backs , are they fairly easy ? I think they are awesome

 

[Darth_Tater]

That fish just plain looks angry. What did you do to it?!?! I think fish that look angry all the time are funny, my Watchman Goby also always looks angry.

If anyone has pictures of a group of Carberryi I'd like to see them!

A few pictures of my charges.
