ReadyReefer Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 anthias are NOT beginners fish. Most require daily feedings and keeping the params stable in a small tank is going to be difficult. Of course if you do research i would reccomend some of the smaller and hardier ones such as the sunburst anthias. just my .02 Link to comment
GLino Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Research comes before all things when it comes to reef keeping but from what i read sunburst dont really like mh lighting. i was leanin towards a ventralis or maybe a bartlets.??? Link to comment
ReadyReefer Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 i'm not so sure about those two species. If you can get a hold of it "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist, by Robert Fenner" has a great section on anthias Link to comment
GLino Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks if i cant have any anthias in my new reef tank thats fine the health of the animal comes first. ill keep lookin though. Link to comment
ReadyReefer Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 It is certainly possible and they are extremely beautiful. I was merely saying that these animals require more research and dedication than most Link to comment
