Keeping Anthias help
 

Hi
i wanted to add a small shoal of Anthias to my 90g,can anyone offer some advice on what are the ones that do best,another problem is on order lists there is no difference made between male and female from what ive read you need to keep one male and three or more females is this correct ?
thanks for any help

A small shoal will likely need more than a 90, and the problem often encountered with them is the amount of feeding they require really puts your filtration to the test.

thanks for the quick post brad if feeding is going to be a problem i will hold off getting any :)

Ideally the need meaty foods a couple of times per day. You'd need a good skimmer and a frequent water change schedule to keep a group.

Certainly beautiful fish though...

Yes, I keep bartletts in a 230g, but I feed the tank heavily. I have a euroreef skimmer and waterchange every two weeks.

And what a Euroreef it is...WooHoo!!! :razz:
