Anthias gettin skinny

[Nelliereefster]

Okay, three month or so anthias population has been thriving up to last few days.

They're starting to get skinny, in spite of the fact that I feed them mysis three times a day. Do I have any other more nutritious alternatives?

I've got 8 in a 120. They seem happy with the space and not too bothered by the light level. Sure hate to see them wane out of ignorance...

Have you tried mixing up they entree? In my tank I would feed them brine one day, and the next day mysid. Every now and then I would feed them finely chopped krills.

hope that helps.
