anthias

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...

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...

Here's a quick update video. Enjoy and feel free to ask questions. thanks

Trying to decide on a group of 7 to 9 Anthias for my 310 gallon mixed reef. Cannot for the life of me decide what I want to go with. Biggest thing to me is I’m hoping to avoid non-saltwater people coming over and looking at my tank and saying look at those beautiful goldfish LOL. Currently have...

Hi guys! Does any of you have any luck with school of red saddled anthias? I bought 20 in total and they are eating very well. I feed them 6 times a day with mix of frozen food and 4 times with pellets which they start to eat. My water parameters are stable and good. Despite all that they...

I ordered 5 Anthias and 3 dragon pipefish from LiveAquaria. Can I drip acclimate all of them in the same bucket or do i need to separate them?

I recently purchased (2 weeks ago) 5 pre quarantine Anthias. 4 of the 5 swim together and look normal. But the 5th hides out by himself and always has his mouth wide open. I read this is common with Anthias, but wondering if it could be something else as well. It’s hard to tell, but I think...

I currently have females lyretail Anthias from ”indo” and I have a male Lyretail from “Fiji” coming in soon . Will this cause confusion and stress to my male lyretail? I’ve bought a male “Fiji” lyretail from Petco before and it died in 3 weeks. Never colored up. No signs of decease either...

Where can I find this purple male Lyretail? A lot of shop says they have it but it’s the red male. Any reliable shop ?

Selling a beautiful blotchy anthias, eats frozen and pellets and is very active. Paid much more then I’m listing so I’m firm on $250. Pick up in Staten Island NY 10312.

So, if I have 6 different anthias species, all females, will one of them turn into a male? I think (guess) not, but this ignitus girl is getting pretty big and bright colored. I'm not going to research on it, lets see what a shortcut can bring.

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.

I have two left finished with quarantine. Beautiful fish.

Hey guys I want to get a school of lyretail anthias but people are saying they’re a handful. Should I consider a school of yellow tail or blue devil damsels instead or will that not work? Also why are the anthias a lot of work?

Hi Everybody! I'm rather new to the hobby and have slowly been stocking my reef tank (65 gal) with fish. I had 2 clowns, 2 darts and 1 watchman goby. I decided to add a Lyretail Anthias, based on my understanding that they are peaceful. Unfortunately, she likes to chase the darts. Mostly when I...

Hey you guys. Got this brand new Anthias fish and put it in QT. The following day I notice it has this white patch. Does it look like ICH? Or lympho? Thanks you guys.

Just got 7 dispar anthias at least thats what i think they are the seller didn’t specify the species as they just called it rainbow fish or something. The seller said they were ‘old stock’ so they already ate pellets, i decided to grab them. They are being qted in a 70g now. They all are eating...

I am ready to add some more fish to my reef. It has been running since September of 2019, but after losing my SPS corals, I am doing a reboot. I reworked some of the aquascape to be more open for better flow. My current fish are one Sailfin Tang, one Chocolate Tang, one Foxface, one...
