any anthias I can keep in a 50breeder

[ezhoops]

Just wondering if there are any anthias I could keep in a 50 breeder?

I would like to keep a trio

Typically anthias like bigger tanks, however having said that I've kept a trio of bartletts in my 57 rimless for a while now, they are doing great.

Normally more than one "requires" a 125.

Which species remain the smallest and would adapt best

well according to LA for certain single specimens

Resplendent Anthias generally stay in the middle levels of the tank, but also require plenty of caves, ledges, and other hiding places. Although a 25-gallon tank will suffice for one fish, if keeping a group of one male and several females, a 125-gallon tank or larger tank is needed.

This variety of Anthias does best in an aquarium with low, indirect lighting or its brilliant colors will fade. Although preferring to remain at the mid-tank level, they have been found at depths up to 600 feet in the wild. A 25 gallon tank will suffice for one fish, however, if keeping a group, a 125 gallon tank should be used since the Squareback Anthias appreciates plenty of room to swim.

That Fish Place recommends tank sizes 40-70g for single specimens.

I am NOT an expert on anthias but I would recommend resplendent.

Princess or sunset would be good options.

 

[ezhoops]

do they do well singly?

 

[SDguy]

I thought you wanted a trio? The ones I mentioned are small, trio would be great.

 

[ezhoops]

I do but I also dont want any problems. 3 resplendent it is

 

[SDguy]

Eh, I'd still look into the ones I mentioed...
