I've kept all kinds of reef fish with the exception of anthiids. My wife has been bugging me for years to get Anthias but I've always ruled against em. She saw a Lori's at Old Town Aquariums and she's been bugging me ever since. I have room for one more pelagic fish, and it's probably gonna be an Anthias.

I know the Bartlets, Sunbursts & Squamis are the standbys. I'm gonna be keeping just one. Which species have you had success with? How often do you feed it and what are you feeding it?
 
Unless you have a monster tank you'd be best off with only one Anthias. My buddy has had a Borb and a Bartlett, both very cool fish. He has a Eheim auto feeder feeding NLS pellets 2-3 times a day I believe. As well as his home made frozen food once a day. The Bartlett was a cool fish but eventually got aggressive, so he got rid of him. The Borb got aggressive but he gave him a timeout in the sump and everything seems fine months later. Definitely suggest them if you can give them the proper feeding they feeding.
