Really cool fish, btw. Think I'll be getting a few of these as well. They like a lot of current and are quite active, and beautifully colored. Also said they can be jumpers! I like the fat- head Anthias too!

Yeah they I just got them yesterday they seem to be ok swimming in the middle of the water column. I got one male and two female. The male sometimes beats up the girls because the more dominant fish will turn into the male

Yes they are bartlets anthias. I had a few of them and they really never did too great. After them I got the lyretail anthias and they do much better. As far as those you have try feeding frozen mysis and frozen vitamin fortified brine.

Maybe because they eat micro-algae

Pseudanthias bartlettorum - so that should be Bartletts' Anthias (named after a couple, so note the position of the '). Great fish. I would definitely mix up the food a bit - small crustaceans, fish eggs, etc. Good luck.

Hey Tony, are you really gonna bust balls on an apostrophe?

 

[Tony Gill]

Nah, just having a bit of fun.
