Pink truncated anthias

11-22-2003, 02:51 PM

I went to the LFS today. I saw some pink truncated anthias. I had no idea what they were. There were three. I bought them. They are Pseudanthias hyposelosoma. They are pretty. They are supposed to be easy to care for according to my atlas.

I lost my 8 lyre-tails to a parasite. These are different looking. They don't hide much. The cleaner shrimp likes them.

Let's see if the capret anemone eats them or if they jump out.

The hardest thing with anthias is to get them to feed...

Thanks everyone. I haven't tried feeding them yet. I wanted them to settle for a bit. I've had anthias before and they ate really well. We'll see what happens tomorrow when the lights are on.

Well, I just tried feeding them and they are decent feeders. All three ate. The cleaner shrimp went nuts. The purple tang woke up.

I only used to fed the tank once a week. Things have to change now

anthias should be feed twice a day

One down, two to go

what happened? did something get one of them , did it jump out of the tank, or did it just die? Have you been feeding them twice a day like gumhead suggested?
