anthias fish

I have other species in the tank that seem to be doing fine... But randomly, the Anthias Lyertails keep dying one by one... Please help! I have dosed the tank with copper already and been adding Metroflex to their feeding. But I can't seem to figure out what it is

Can anyone tell me what kind of anthias this is and why it is changing from all orange to this? I'm assuming it is a combination of age and male vs. female thing. I bought a pair and the other is not changing at all. The caudal fin also appears to be growing into a lyretail. Any info would be...

I have a 50 gallon tank 48" long 18" wide. I was wondering if there is a school of 4 anthias I could keep in there. Also some advice for keeping them. If there are any other interesting schooling fish that are compatible with my size reef tank I am up for suggestions.

Hey everyone! As the post says, I’m looking for a couple unique fish to finish off my stock list for my 180 gallon Planet Aquarium. Total volume is around 235 gallons. I understand some people may think I already have “alot” but honestly…my NSA rockwork, oversized skimmer, filtration, UV, etc...

Been in the hobby for nearly 15 years, and I have always wanted a borbonius anthias. The price and timing was never right. Went to my local LFS about 4 weeks ago and they told me they were getting one in, and said they would be doing a 4 week QT and monitoring. Today, he was ready for...

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD Moving out of state and do not want to stress fish out with a travel. I live in Temecula, Ca. This is for pick up only. The fish is about 1-1.25” I've had it for bout 4 months now. Very cool looking fish. Eats great. Lil shy guy tho.

Has anyone ever had a queen anthias fish jumped out of their tank? Right after my weekly weekend water change as I was doing tonight I was cleaning up, looked over at the floor and my fish was on the floor. It's skin was dry so it must have been out of my tank for a couple hours. So I'm just...

Hi folks, can you please name these two circled anthias? Are they reef safe as well? Because one of the local members sent us a video of the lighter colored one picked up on softies but I heard anthias were supposed to be reef safe and beginner-friendly. Cheers!

I recently lost all my fish to I believe was brooklynella but I came across this picture the other day from bassleer that shows a strong resemblance to anthias I really hope it's not uronema my female was the only one with the red mark, I have to note that my midas blenny did bully my anthias...
