got my anthias !!!!!!!!!

[Neal358]

i got my order of bartletts anthias from ffexpress and thay have to some of the niciest looking fish i have ever reseved from a mail ordered company. thay were jumping out of the bag when i got them, thay were also packed with 3 bags and one of black strips on the bag to help reduce stress. as soon as i put them in the tank they went right for the rocks. i think with them i have the best chance . and the price was awsome i got 3 for $87.00 i asked for med and that was a good thing because thay are from tail the moth a good 3 inches long i am VERY!! happy with the fish.

Sounds good ....keep us posted with how they eat and what you are feeding them. I want some anthias in the next month or so...and am curious how well they do in your system. Congrats!

Congrats on the Anthias, Neal. These are one of my favorite fish. I had a very nice male Squarespot that I lost to a power outage in May. I tried MO but the two I got received never recovered from shipping

Finally this past week my lfs got a male in for me that was eating. I bought him home Tuesday and he's doing great. He's eating Mysis shrimp, Emerald Entree, Spirulina brine.
Here's a pic of the male with my female. The male is about 4", the female a little smaller. Good luck.

I have been having lots of luck the past year keeping red sea anthias and square box anthias on a diet of Tetra Delica Brineshrimp. This food is amazing. You really should try it. Seems to me to be much more nutritious than many of the frozen foods out there.
