And then there were two.

Started out with 5 Dispar Anthias. Number 5 was never seen again after adding them in. Number 4 went missing last week. And today I come home from work to see number 3 stuck to my MP40.

Argh...Don't like losing fish!

I was really digging the idea of a small school of these guys in the tank. Let's hope the remaining two stay for a while.

Anthias are tough. I steer clear of those guys. The tank is looking good btw!

What are you feeding them and how often?

 

[jayu]

I feed a mix. Mysis feast, arcti-pods, reef flakes, formula two flakes, various pellet foods. I feed AT LEAST twice a day. However, when I leave for work by 7am my lights are off and I usually dont feed until after work that evening and again before lights out at midnight

The Anthias were accepting food from day one but they've been the least aggresive feeders. They have been bullied slightly by my Royal Gramma and female Clownfish though. I think that may have had something to do with the loss of three. Who knows.

'Preciate it Dylan!

My Anthias did the same thing, I was sad to see the big pimp and his little hoes go obsolete in my tank

disbars are pretty bad about eating, I had 5 as well and they would eat but only one or two things out of the mix, which wasnt enough for them.

Ill stick with lyretails, squares, bartletts and fatheads.
