Does anyone have any experience with a Sunburst Anthias? Also known as a Fathead Anthias? Scientific Name: Serranocirrhitus latus I know they are expensive, but I need to know how hard they are to keep? How big do they get? As well as anything else you can tell me about them. Rob

Orbic Batfish are the easiest to keep. I had one for 7 years. He was the side of a nickle when I bought him, and ended up being the size of a baketball. You need a good sized tank, I would recommend over 100 gallons. Batfish have great personalities. I became as attached to mine as someone...

I had an Orbic Bat in a 100 gallon tank for 8 years. I kept him with a few Butterfly fish, a Maroon clown, and a few gobies. Batfish grown VERY fast. Make sure you don't have any sharp decorations for yours to get his fins ripped on. They make great pets! Good luck!

The above message deals with the lifespan of an anemonie from a previous post.

Contact Ron Hunsicker at Saltwater Heaven (570) 321-7333. He has a long tentacle anemonie that he's had since I started visiting his store almost 7 years ago. It all depends on the conditions and care you give it. I'm sure Ron would let you know what you need to do to keep yours alive for a...
