Those fish really pop. They will be a nice addition.

What are the size requirements for these anthias? Any particular husbandry that are different from others?

Oh, flavoguttatus anthias!! Very nice. But <u>DELICATE</u></em>. I hope they come in fully treated and eating. They have a horrible survival record. Hope they work for you!!

The vendor sent me video of them eating mysis, cyclo and pellets. All of them looked extremely healthy, alert and active so high hopes here!

Isn't it about time to wire the rest of that basement so I can come see your tank?

Sweet pick up.

Delicate and tiny!

One came in DOA and the other two not far from it. Due to the ammonia in the bag I had to speed up the acclimation. Quick 20 minute temp and water change, both appear as If they may make it, crossing my fingers.

All three in one bag? I've never ordered fish online before but I figured that individual bagging was standard practice for just that reason. I hope the other two make it!

All in one yes, however it was a big bag and they are extremely small. Inaddition it was quad wrapped with one bag blacked out. I don't question the shipping, it was far above proper shipping IMHO. Just an example of how delicate they are.

Good news, both remaining are up, eating and active!!

They are currently housed in a acclimation chamber in the DT. Due to their size I'm extremely nervous letting them into the display. I feel they will either be bullied, eaten or lost in the tank if I do. What to do, what to do....
