My wife saw the Anthias today at the LFS in their huge 400g tank and now he wants one lol. I heard they are very finicky eaters. Ryan yours look awesome!

I had a little gathering of anthias way back when, and asked the LFS to feed them in the tank whilst I was there. They ate up mysis straight away so I knew they were at least eating.

I feed mostly pellets so eventually they got the message and started eating them. They also got a taste for nori and they would pick off chunks that the tank would loosen up.

When they get hungry they'll eat whatever you throw in there. That's what I found anyway.

I find I'm always looking for my phone to use my apex controller while working on the tank so I added this old phone to the hood today it's always plugged in even the screen stays on kinda handy.

Ok well that's good to hear that they eat a variety of food. That's a sweet setup Ryan and the phone permanently in place makes for much less hassle.

Everyone needs a little tank in their life!

Ryan love the new touch to the tank, gives it a step up of elegance with the white everything rather than a black box. Looks sharp!

I gotta stop by and grab that frag and drop off the salt on of these weekends...
