Official Borbonius Anthias Thread

how many people still have these kicking around...i would like to get some but the odds of getting some in canada are probably rare with an even rarer price tag....would be nice to get some hopefully i can scam something and get one or two...

Actually I've seen them more than enough times in the Toronto area ;-D Sometimes with quite a reasonable price tag, but certainly not as low as US$79 posted on an earlier post.

I have three in my tank and they are doing fine.

 

[uhuru]

I never see them anymore, would love to get some for my 150

 

[skibum9884]

agreed, i haven't seen any in months. maybe they're out of season?

 

[mjsfish]

Correct skibum.

They are seasonal.
I'm waiting to get some when they come back.
I'm told December most likely.

Still have 3 of my original 5 since March. One died right away. The other just died about a month ago but he was always a loner and picked on since day one.

My trio.... Jan 1010 will be a year old.

 

[fishyheaven]

nice pics! i missed my trio...

 

[seahorsedreams]

I'm suppose to be moving them tonight.... but I'm skeered!

 

[fishyheaven]

i lost my during my upgrade move... but it was probably due to my errors. Im sure they will be fine.

Thos are some of the nicest pictures I have seen, nicely done seahorsedreams.

 

[seahorsedreams]

Thanks... nothing like 5 Home Depot flood lights shining on a 30g tank to brighten ones pics up... LOL. Poor fish, they don't even have light over their tanks on a day to day basis.

 

[Nemo Niblets]

Are these okay in a 3 foot long tank? I wouldn't think so, but I have seen it done.

 

[fishyheaven]

Finally!! after losing my during a tank move i finally find another! It was at the near by LFS that i dont really visit too much but they had this one there for quite some time now (maybe one year?) hopefully this one will last forever!!

 

[Jordani]

Why do some borbs have a blue hue to their eyes and some don't? Will the blue hue go away after time?

I have one female anthias in my 180 gallon reef setup and am thinking of adding a male and was wondering how many more females would be the min. that I should have along with the male. I currently have 8 fish in the tank along with quite a bit of growing sps coral so I dont want to add more fish then what i have to to keep everyone happy.
thanks
Jeff

Jeff, how do you sex male and female?

 

[Nemo Niblets]

I'm so excited! I found a new LFS who sells these 100 each, and trios of flame wrasses for 250. I can't wait to start up my new tank.

 

[jjoos99]

Jeff, how do you sex male and female?

In the lyretail the male is red with longer fins with the females being orange.

I didn't expect this when I was feeding the scorps tonight.
