Looking for Anthias

Happy New Year everyone!
Well I'll be in the LA area near Rosemead this weekend. I'm wondering which LFS would I have the best chances of finding some. I was looking to get about 4 of the more hardier ones like Lyretails, Squarebacks, bi and tri colors, and maybe even the fatheads. So if you could help me out.
Thanks in advance
Mike

Of the ones you mentioned, Lyretails are the only hardy ones.

Tong's in Fountain Valley had Lyretails & Barletts a few weeks ago. Either one would be your better choice.

I bought all my Lyretails from ReefHotSpot, and I know they always have Anthias in stock. They also have other Anthias other than Lyretails..

You should also check out Mark's Tropical in North Hollywood. Although I haven't been there in a while, I know they always have them in stock.

I see that you're in Ventura. Do you know of any LFS there that might carry Anthias?

I'm pretty sure that there are alot of us Pinoys on here. We tend to pick up expensive hobbys. Plus after the fishes get big we can fry them.......joke lang!
