Ignitus Anthias, who has them?

How difficult is it to keep Ignitus Anthias?
Looking for comments, suggestions and picutures.

i do.
Ordered 8. One died during acclimation. when it came out of the bag, its fins were all rigid from stress. died by the time acclimation was over. One also died because it never ate.
very pretty non agressive

My favorite fish are anthias.

Here's mine.
I ordered 6 and 1 was DOA and 1 died during acclimation.

I also have a Truncatus and a female Lyretail.
They all get along with only some flashing ocasionally.

did they all come in male like that or did they turn?

I found them to be slightly hardier than dispars.

Yep, that's how they came.
BTW, thanks for sexing them.
I asked in another thread and got no response.

in my pix i have all females and one male. quite easy to tell when you have both, but hard to decide when they are all the same!

Thanks for the pictures.

I currently have 3 barletts and recently gave away my lyretails to make room for the Ignitus. I'm glad they are a little bit hardier than dispars.
