I have a school of 5 lyretail anthia and I have had them for about a month now. I have one that I believe is turning into a male because of the dorsal fin tripling in length over the last week. That is not my concern though. My concern is that all of my anthias are more blue/purple instead of orange and yellow.

Are there muliple colors for lyretails as opposed to the normal orange/yellow or are mine unhealthy? I feed omega one flakes 4 times daily and rods food on an occasional basis. All of them eat like pigs.

The only thing on them that is really orange are the tails. The stomachs are yellow and the upper half of there bodies are almost blue/purple.

Any input is welcome.

Thanks

Can you post pics, and did you possibly buy all males? You might not even have lyretails at all.

I will try and post some pics later. They definitely don't display any male characteristics except for the one that has suddenly grown a very long portion on his dorsal fin.
