"Easier" Anthias?

[gusmanda]

Of the Anthias regularly available in the hobby, are there some that are easier to care for? I already have the habit of feeding my fish 4-5 times per day, so think Anthias might fit nicely. Was thinking of either Dispar or Lyretail. I have a 180g tank.

Squammipinnis and bartletts are the easiest, but can be pretty feisty(for anthias). Dispars and randalls are not quite as easy as the aforementioned species, but still pretty hardy, and are significantly more peaceful.

feisty with each other, or with other fish?

What about Ignitus Anthias?

Feisty mostly with other anthias, but also any other planktivores.

Ignitus is a sister species to dispar, so that would be a good choice.

Randalls and resplendents are similar in hardiness or no?

Randalls and resplendents are also sister species, so their care is near identical.

Yea. I read that. Just was clarifying as I just had a nightmare trying to get some through QT.

Sorry for the hijack
