Anthias ???

[c0mf0rt]

I've been asking and asking for help about buying my last fish and I was thinking about getting some sort of Anthias....

Does anyone have any experience or advice for me?

 

[scuba_steve]

from all my readings the do better in groups of one male and a few females so not a good idea !

Anthias do better in groups of at least 3...5 is better. They also need lots of swimming room. I wouldn't get just one or two. JMHO.

 

[c0mf0rt]

Crap... thanks..... hmmmmmmmmm

What about a six line wrasse or a carpenters wrasse?

 

[scuba_steve]

comfort trust me a hog candy wrasse is a cool fish

colors in this pic imo are not even close to the cool look of them

 

[c0mf0rt]

OK man....... .... I'll bight the bullet.... HOG CANDY it is as long as you assure me that it won't duke it out with my six line....... or anything else in the tank...

 

[scuba_steve]

never had a prob with mine ! until the tank over heated then he couldnt hang lol

the six line and him shouldnt look twice at each other ! dont pay alot for one ! i got mine for $30 but have seen them as high as $70

also if he does cause a issue ill take him from ya as long as ya get a good deal on him cause i want another

 

[c0mf0rt]

Any ideas on where I can get one cheap??? I definitely haven't seen one of these at my LFS......

 

[scuba_steve]

[c0mf0rt]
