Fusilier damsels, adding anthias?

GoldeneyeRet · 03/20/2019, 12:12 AM

I have a small group of fusilier damsels, Lepidozygus tapeinosoma. They stay in a pretty nice group in my tank. I know these fish associate with anthias in the ocean. So as I was searching for more fusilier damsels I thought perhaps some anthias might work well....

I have never kept anthias so I am wondering if anyone has tried this and how it worked out? Any ideas on which anthias species might work well in this situation?

Thanks

Firstly let me say, I am incredibly jealous of your damsels, I had a small group some 10 years ago and have been trying to find them ever since. They are never imported into the UK!

Mine were in with a selection of Anthias, Squammy, Carberry and Marcia with no issues at all.
