Dispar anthias

[badbrady06]

I would like to add a group of maybe five anthias to my tank. I'm still debating lyretail but they get a little larger than I would like and I've heard they're pretty aggresive towards each other. From what I understand dispar stay a little smaller and get along better. Problem is the pictures I see online. Are they as brightly colored as some of the pictures or as dull as some. Please fill me in and post pictures if possible.

Condition of the fish have a lot to do with color.......they need a varied diet, with plenty of helpings per day.

I feed my current fish nls pellets, formula 1&2 pellets and flakes, ON frozen combo, chopped up krill, and mysis. I change it up between those of course but feed two or three times daily. I could probably handle four feedings a day. Would that be sufficient?

More than enough, 3 will be perfect. You have a good mixture of food, they will be fine. Here are my Dispars when I had them, the 2 smaller ones are Dispars. The bigger ones are Ignitus. Dispars are more orange while Ignitus are more pinkish but they look pretty similar.
