Evansi anthias - keepers experiences please

[Tony B (UK)]

Per the title.

I am interested in what their feeding habbits are like, how finicky are they? How often do they need to be fed? How long did it take before they accepted flake food (or do they still refuse)?

Any other details on the evansi anthias welcomed (how hardy are they, behaviours etc). :thumbsup:

I've kept tukas before, I even had them spawning but, to be honest I doubt I would get them again, as they need almost constant feeding, like 8+ feeds a day to do well.

Tia,

Tony

Not as difficult as Tukas. 3 times per day, nutramar ova, frozen cyclopeeze, reef caviar (capelin fish roe). I do not feed flake so I can not say about that.

Same here. Evansi were more difficult for me than tuka, though. They are shy and picky in terms of food.

Here is the crowd
