Easiest Anthias

[toshiba]

What does everyone think the hardiest and easiest Anthias is to keep?

[foxrazr]

I have Maldives lyretail anthias 5 of them to be exact. Had them for two months and doing good except for 1 female. I have never had anthias before. But from reading here they are suppose to be some of the hardiest and easiest to care for. The fact that they look stunning is a plus. Happy reefing.

I only have experience with the squareback and lyretail and the lyretail is alot easier to keep IMO. Mine even eat NLS pellets.

Lyretails, Bartletts, Stockies, Squarebacks....those have been the easiest for me in that order.....

Square spots are the hardiest in my expierence.

I haven't got mine yet but I notice that snorvich often recommends resplendent anthias in the New to the Hobby forum. I am not sure if they are the easiest but they won't change from female to male as fast as the varieties do. Two males is bad from what I have read on anthias.

How often is everyone feeding them? Thanks.

[reefjunkie42]

3+ times a day they are constant eaters

[dzfish17]

Usually twice a day but sometimes they get an extra feeding.
