Well green chromis would be cheapest choice, then if your ave the cash anytype of anthias, but with anthias you do need to feed multiple times per day, so much more care is involved.
 
Cardinals are kinda boring. they just don't swim that much. They like to hang out in a certain area of the tank. I like the chromis or anthias. Just research which anthias to buy, some don't mind powerful reef light (like Bartlett's or Dispar anthias). Some anthias live deeper in the ocean, so if you put them in a reef tank with bright lights, they will just hide alot or not really do well.

If I had a place to put one, I would, but then I have to factor in EXPENSE and that leads to not happening. Unless I won a large lottery, that would change it. Chances of me winning a lottery is like trying to find a honest politician....not in a million years!!!!
 
I really like my anthias. I have a trio of Bartlett's. They're gorgeous and are pretty much always by eachother. The smallest female sometimes buddies up with my single green chromis. I feed my tank only twice a day and they're doing great. :) if you can do 2 feedings a day IMO you'd be alright.

Morning and evening? Im up and out by 5am and not home at a regular time (usually) Or are Anthias out and about all the time? I like the Chromis idea for money reasons and the Anthias for their looks. Tough decision sheesh!!
 
Bartlets are sweet chromis are pretty neat too i have five and had them for years a few are huge and havnt lost any color do to have a lid of some kind
 
Well the Chromis look like they are going to win this battle. If anything maybe I could get a pair of Anthias too LOL
 
ive read that you need a monster tank to keep multiple bartletts, or they will all morph into males. i forgot wat the other smaller anthias was but most of them get too large for a school in a 75. could keep multiple males of different anthias tho, like 1 bart male 1 dispair male n such
 
I didn't events realize there was a response! Mine are usually sleeping at 5am. They stay awake after the lights go out for a little while though. And I'm sure if I went to feed the tank they'd wake up.
