How many people on here have and do keep anthias alive?

I bought a male and 2 female square spot. They were a little tough to get eating but once they started they were pigs! Then after about 6 months the male went to the back of the rock and wouldnt come out. It took him 2 weeks to die. Then one of the females did exactly the same thing.. eating like a pig then one day BANG hovering in the rock and wouldnt come out and eat. She died in a week. I have one left ( the smallest) who is still eating and apparently doing ok.

Shelley, I'm sorry to hear this but thanks for being totally honest as I wouldn't want to drop $200 on a school to see them widell away one by one.

I really wonder why these fish are eating fine one day and not the next could these be cyanide caught

Could be Chris. Also I wonder if they just wernt getting nutriant wise what they need to survive. I feed multiple times a day ( for the most part) and a varied diet. It was just BANG the way they would stop eating and hide.
