Athias schools

[Gtownguy487]

I have a 220 gallon tank. Build, mix, match your best looking school of anthias. I need ideas on what would look good.

Lyretail Anthias...common in the trade but so natural looking if you can get a harem.

Most Anthias shoal rather than school...difference is a schooling fish will all stay together and move at the same time in the same direction rather than just within eyesight of each other...In my experience Lyretails and other larger aggressive Anthias tend for the male to be a loner and chase the females around...I've had better luck with peaceful species like Ignitus and Dispars which tend form groups with one male..

How about Tiger Queen Anthias, or known as Lori's Anthias? I've always liked them and they are peaceful.

This is a species that is difficult to take frozen foods. When I have seen them successfully kept they were fed live baby brine.

I have had good luck with Dispar, Evansi and Carberri hanging out together.

IME dispar and ignitus "group" together in a tank more than other species.
