jedimasterben Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I think anthias need more room My dream is to have a breeding harem of Hawaiian Longfin anthias In my experience with anthias, they don't need as much room as all the 'big sites' say. I think the reason is mostly bioload-based since they eat/poop a lot. Link to comment
1.0reef Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 i can only feed 1-2 times a day Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 As long as you can start them off with several times a day, sometimes you can back it down to twice a day and just keep an eye on them. Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 So I happen to be another victim of reading all of the pages XD. I also have a 55g freshwater tank that I want to convert to a salwater tank. Link to comment

Euphyllia Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yoshii is probably just busy with school and stuff... Or she lost interest IDK. She was last active today hashtag stalk-stalk hashtag jk I just went you your profile to check. So how is life? How is the tank? We don't need a picture, just a textual reinforcement that all is okay. Link to comment

nanoreefnate Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I demand a tank update!!! Link to comment
yoshii Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hey guys, I need your opinion! My LFS just got in some beautiful Barlett's Anthias (who are eating after being in the tank for only a few hours) I wanted to get Dispars until I saw these guys But I think these may now be a better choice as they are more aggressive, and can better hold their ground against my clownfish. However, I also want to get a pair of firefish and perhaps other shy fish such as a flasher wrasse in the future...which the barletts might bully :/What do you guys think? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I've never seen an aggressive Bartlett's anthias, FWIW. Maybe being in a small holding tank with so many others in it might make them look aggressive, but they're really pansies Link to comment

I think you should shut down this tank and get my 7 gallon cold water AIO... Link to comment

Maybe being in a small holding tank with so many others in it might make them look aggressive, but they're really pansies From my experiences with Bartletts, I would label them semi-aggressive I think I'll get three I think you should shut down this tank and get my 7 gallon cold water AIO...

1.0reef Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Glad to see you back! Link to comment
yoshii Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Thanks!I really want to clean up my tanks, update all my threads and get active here again during my winter break Link to comment
urbaneks Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I have a couple Bartlett's, they are very hardy and good eaters. If you want to keep anthias, I think Bartletts are the easiest. Link to comment

Yeah, I'm not worried about their hardiness/care difficulty, just their aggression. I've wanted to get a (properly decompressed) Flavoguttatus Anthias again, but IME Bartletts will definitely go after them. I'll just stick with the Bartletts, after all, three anthias look cooler than a single anthias. Link to comment
neuwave Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hey Yoshi how are the bartletts doing? I just bought a Flavoguttatus Anthias a few days back. It's a tad skidish. But my mini school of red spot cardinals swimming out in the open entices the anthias to swim with the bunch. But the best thing is that it is fatting up quickly and eats everything. I say take anther shot with the Flavoguttatus Anthias, so gorgeous. Link to comment
yoshii Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Nah, this tank is coming down soon, so I've taken out a lot of fish and coral Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Planning on taking out most of the rock and remaining fish/corals tomorrow. Kinda sad to be finally taking down my first SW tank, I can't even remember how long I've had this tank. Pretty sure I got it when I was 13, so wow, probably about 8 years. Here's a pic from a little while ago after taking out most of the corals Goodbye 55, we had a good run Link to comment
neuwave Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Did you keeping anything from this tank? Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Did you keeping anything from this tank? GSP haha Maybe some red blastos But soon I'll just have 1 nano tank, and most things in this tank won't fit in it Link to comment
neuwave Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 GSP haha Maybe some red blastos But soon I'll just have 1 nano tank, and most things in this tank won't fit in it Lol I had to rid myself of my gsp as it spread so fast and stung/killed some of my acros. I had to consolidate my tanks as well. I had my 40 and my 15 nano. Gave away my 15 and the 40 went into storage. All put everything into a 60 Solana. With classes taking up more of my time I have time for only one tank. Also your macro tank looks fantastic. Link to comment
