Anthias Question

[MacWilliams]

I'm am thinking of putting some (2-3?) in a 60 gallon cube. I currently have 2 Ocelarris Clowns and a Yellow Wrasse. What species of Anthias would go well in this tank? I am looking to add a Coral Beauty at some point but am flexible with my fish choices. Please give me suggestions and advice. I love the way the school and stay in the middle area.

Anthias are pretty active. What are the dimensions of your tank?

Here's a search for what LA suggests for a 70 gallon tank. You are 10 gallons short of that, but depending on the dimensions of your tank, you may be able to get away with 1 or 2. I had 2 lyertail anthias in my 55g QT for 30 days, and they were ok, but, I could tell they would've been happier with more space...

The only one that came up for your size tank was difficult to keep, so I didn't include that particular search...

T hank you for your advice. I think I'll leave them to people with bigger tanks. Mine is a 24x24x24 cube. So i dont think they will do well. I'll have to wait till i get a bigger tank.

Yeah, good decision. 24" x 24" is probably too small for anthias, especially a group.
