What kind of anthias do you keep
Were They easy to teach to eat frozen goods
How many do you have/what's the ratio of male to female?

Two specific question.. has anyone kept a school of purple queen anthias easily (not to be confused with the other just "purple anthias")

And anyone keep pink square or sunburst anthias. (couple of the more solitary ones) btw the solitary/schooling types is based on what I've heard and read.

I keep 3 female dispar and they school well together. Also have 3 female lyretail and 1 male. I tried the purple queen and they didn't eat. Try many different food. They are best kept in the ocean

I have always had a tough time keeping them alive in my 210. I have finally stopped purchasing them. Not sure what the isue is. I can usually get them to eat decent, they just turn up dead. :rolleye1:

I bought 3 female Barlett Anthias about 2 months ago and they rock. One of them turned into a male. lucky guy has 2 chicks. I feed the tank twice a day and they school all day long. i'm thinking of gettting rid of my 4 other Chromis and getting 2 more.
