You dont just want to feed it flakes. A well balanced diet will keep your fish happy and healthy.

I agree, infact, my anthias won't even accept flakes.

No "longfin banners" they're not RS and they get huge. As for anthias feeding, mine only takes frozen foods, (mysis and brine shrimp are his favs) However there are some hardy anthias that often take flakes, (bartletts)

Had a beautiful and healthy yellow for three years. He passed this summer, not sure why. I spent much time with new border collies (dogs) so tank was a bit on the back burner- could be reason.

If you leave out the sfe it opens up alot of options. Heres a possibe list..
1) anthias (squareback or bartletts)
2) pair of percs or skunks
3) cb angel
4) any relatively small peacefull rs fish, maybe a flasher or fairy wrasse or 3 b/g chromis
5) a lawn mower blenny
