Kris, there will always be anthias to get once your tank matures a little. I wouldn't add five anthias to newly cycled tank.

I second Troy's comments. Unless you are getting them for free or something, there will always be more available.

Especially now that we are getting to the summer months, shipments will increase and there are several fine suppliers in our area now.

You'll find all the Anthias you can handle in a month or two when your tank is fully cycled.

J&L has a ton of antahs in. Including four Fatheads. :D verrry nice..

Kris,

Hold off on teh anthias.

They are some of the most sensetive fish you can find. They stress easily and don't take to poor water. IMO IME.

Your tank would be great for size but they can be a docile fish.

thanks for the input.... i was hoping to be able to keep them in another holding tank plumb into a 33 that has been set-up for a while now. Then when my 100g was ready for them, i would add that to it. Also for my want, is that i am able to get them next to nothing, as far as anthias go. Mabey i will put it off for now, and hop that i can get this deal later on. Mabey just buy some more live rock.

thanks again all.
