Anthias problem
I got a couple of anthias a few weeks back, one is fine, eating well swimming around but the other one seem to only swim along the bottom of the tank. I haven't seen him lift off the bottom at all. Could this be a swim bladder problem? They are still in 10 gallon QT right now.
Anyone have any idea what this could be? Louise

Anthias problems...
In October 2007, I bought 4 female anthias' & a male. They all died on me. On boxing day, I got myself 5 young female anthias' & 1 young male. Only 1 female has survied and is doing very well. I don't know why, but anthias' seem to be difficult to keep. I hope your anthias improves in health.
However, I do not quarantine my fish. I gradually acclimatize the fish over 1 hour. Keith.

Anthias are sensitive to light. If your lighting is to bright it stresses them. If you have any aggressive tank mates they can also cause stress.
What type of Anthias do you have? What size of tank do you have them in?

You should definitly QT your fish, that way you can watch them more closely and see if there is something that can be treated before putting them in your display. Quote:
I mentioned in my post that they are in a QT  LOLAnyways, they are in a 10 gallon, both are pretty small, about 2" I was told they are Disbar Anthias, a more shallow water species so they shouldn't be light sensitive. One is perfectly healthy and the other won't/can't swim off the bottom. Also they are alone in the QT, no tankmates....
