Which Anthias are easiest ?

[drew930]

Which are the easiest to keep ? Was thinking about getting 3 for my 60 cube . I love the barletts look , but don't want to get the ones that are the hardest . I also like the lyre tail and ignitus. Which would you suggest ? Do certain ones require more feeding ?

Lyretails are fairly hardy when it comes to Anthias. All Anthias have fast metabolisms and need to be fed 3x a day minimum. Would stay away from Barletts especially if you haven't kept Anthias before. I have a male Maldives Lyretail in my 220g and love him, thinking about getting him 3 girlfriends

+1 I'd say lyretails.

I have four truncate Anthias in a 70-gallon display. They seem very hardy - I've had them for around ten months and bought them from a local hobbyist who had them for six months. They're a vivid pink, but not the most beautiful Anthias.

I have dispars and they are extremely easy compared to the smithvanizi's I used to have.
