Bimaculatus Anthias (Pseudanthias bimaculatus)

[Trichome]

I am thinking about keeping a group of 5-7 Bimaculatus Anthias
(Pseudanthias bimaculatus) in my soon to be deep water/Non-photosynthetic tank. The tank is 36x24x31 about 118g and will not have a ton of live rock. Is this a bad idea? Does anyone have experience with this fish in a group? From what i have learned so far they don't get along with other anthias, but they are fairly hardy.

These anthias are one of the largest that are commonly available. Your tank is way too small.

Have you looked into smaller species, like smithvanizi or parvirostris? Very pretty. Also, ventralis... difficult, but good choices for NPS tanks, IMO.

Agreed. WAY too small.

Thanks for the replies. I just looked up the smithvanizi and it looks like something i would like i just have to find a source to buy them and do some more research on them.
