Suitable anthias for a peaceful 75 gallon?

[musicsmaker]

Is there an anthias that would be suitable for a 75 gallon with peaceful tankmates? Either a single male or a male female pair would be great if it can be done. None of my searches have come up with anything.

Do a search on bartlett's anthias. relativily easy to keep, and colorful.

Please be aware that Anthias live in huge groups and should not be keep with one or two.

Normally you can only keep one male in a tank. I would add at least 5 femals.

Only if you keep them in a group they will be always in motion and dont hide.

You should alos know that Anthias need several feeding sessions over the day and that most of them dont like flakes.

All Anthias are permanent in motion and feed during the entire light phase on plankton - easy to see during diving.

If they dont have enough food they start hidding in order to keep their energy. I feed mine P.parvirostris serveral times in the afternoon hours. Specially if they are niw you have to feed them very very often that they get back to fittness.

Have fun. I've read also that they absolutly love Zooplankton, the stuff in jars. It's cultured daphnia, but they love it. WEE

Wee, check your comp for spyware. It does funky things to links similar to that. Been seeing lots of pop ups lately? If yes, spyware. If no, some other strange phenomena.

PS ~ Thanks for the link!

Hi Musicmaker,
I Think 4 female 1 male lyretail or dispar anthias would be great
I saw them and they were really nice coloured
