Anthias Frustration

[maxxII]

If I lose any fish in QT, regardless of where I am in the process, I hold off moving them to the display for at least tow 'clean' weeks. Just not worth the risk IMO.

I'm with Simon here...sorry.
I'd tack on at least 2 weeks to the QT.

I agree as well............I also wouldn't put them in the display until they are swallowing chunks of food. The notion that anthias won't eat anything that isn't a tiny food is way off base.

They probably have adapted to this in the wild because that's what's available to them, but in the aquarium setting they'll eat much larger pieces. I've seen my Randalls & Ignitus eat chunks of raw seafood as large as their heads. In the past when I had lyretails and bartletts they were the same way.

Before I'd put them in the display, I would want to see them swimming over each other waiting for me to drop food in the tank and then witness a feeding frenzy when it's dropped in.

Lost a 4th Anthias a couple weeks ago due to aggression. Transferred remaining 4 into DT last night. All 4 are smaller than the pair I had in the DT already but so far everyone is being well behaved.

Anthias Frustration

I'm having good success with bimacs in TTM right now. All are still alive and eating mysis as soon as it touches the water. Only one has what appears to be lymph on her tail. No signs of uronema and only did formalin dip as part of treatment. Decided not to use any prazi this time.

I know some were having issues with uronema but I haven't seen too many reports of it so far. People still having this issue?
