Sunburst Anthias In a 24G nano ?

[Antman]

Hello all can a Sunburst Anthias be keped in a 24G nano ?

How big is it

 

[Antman]

About 3"

A Sunburst Anthias can grow to 5 inches long, and is a fish that swims in the water column. There is definitely not enough room in a 24G tank to keep this fish long term

Not enough room, I have one in my 57g and he can be a bit of a bully even in there. They like their territory and no one in it. Not real damage, but plenty of chasing.

mine in a 90 g tank

and it ****ed off a royal gramma

then it was chased by a clan of 5 resplendent anthias, but survied. now they stay together

I've a 5 member harem in a ~225G system and that's pushing it. They are great fish, but unless you have plans to expand your system soon, or if it's the only fish in the nano, then I would not recommend it.
