I’ve been thinking anthia for a long time I just can’t bring myself to go. That one is particularly pretty.

I saw some queen anthias yest, very nice looking. Iam hesitant bc generally the rap on them is tough to feed

Pretty fish but deep water specimens usually mean low-long term survivability in home aquaria.

I have this male for a while now, actually getting a small one on Tuesday I will post pictures. It should still be a female. This is just my opinion. As far as being a deep water fish, you have to acclimate them to your lighting, make sure you have a lot of overhanging rock so they can find shade. Their supper high metabolism means the need at least 3 feedings a day so your filtration system may be taxed at first.

The black back ground really makes it pop. Very nice

I’ve read that once they are established they are pretty easy.

I’m starting to get the urge for anthia again. Have to wait till it is warmer here to get more fish.
