Success with Dispar anthias?

[Chooch1]

Is anybody having long term, i.e. living longer that 1 year, success with Dispar anthias, Pseudanthias dispar? If so, I'd love to hear your recommendations for success. Are you keeping them singly or in groups? Thanks.

I got a trio that's been in my tank for about a year. They do great together. I feed them 3-4 times a day. Eat anything

Minhvu,

Thanks for the response. Did you treat them for flukes initially? Did they eat well right from the start? How many males and females in the trio? What other fish do you keep them with and what size tank?

 

[minhvu]

I didn't treat them. They ate mysis only at first. All three are females. I also keep wrasses, tangs, angels, barletts, and bicolor anthias

Thanks minhvu. Anyone else?

I've had a group of 4 for just under a year (the male for like two years). Typical annoying anthias behavior I had another turn male recently, and oust the original. We'll see how things progress....
