Default Blotched Anthias

I was hoping you would chime in Borderjumper and share your experience with them.

They are great little fish. In regards to feeding them flake, I usually put a pinch of flake in the tank and let it submerse so that the flakes are distributed under the water surface, this way it is difficult for them (Anthias) to ingest air from feeding off the surface.

Having said that, maybe you shouldn't feed flake just in case as there are other feeding options for these fish. The don't seem to be too finicky and especially like mysis as well.

Thanks.

that is what I always do for the flakes then all the fishies get it.

Scott Michael writes that although they are congenial as juveniles, blotchy anthias do not get along with each other as adults.

I was also under the impression that they are best kept singly except in very large tanks. I'm also thinking hard about getting a single one for my 4' 90 gallon.
