Kathy- Thanks, Ive made some changes to my system in preparation for the anthias.. I changed the temp of my tank from 78 to 77.8, and then down to 77, because they are a deep water species that are used to lower temps.. I lot of people don't really know that.. They wonder why even with decent water quality the fish starts to fade in color... After reading some articles on these fish I decided to do that for them... My other deep water fish will also appreciate this change as well as my deep water corals... The temp they are used to is probably around the low 70's, but I'm not bringing my tank down that low... I hope a stable 77 will be good enough along with a good diet..

90reefernyc-Thanks, I like a fish that can get along with out schooling...

Beautiful fish you got there and awesome shots. I am fairly new to the whole coral reef fish and I was wondering if you could name the fishes in your shots, if you don't mind.

They are all blotchy, or borbonius, anthias.
The only other fish showing is a spotted mandarin.

No Problem, Tobin great looking fishes. Best of luck raising the group, it will be great to see them fully grown up in a few months.

 

[Bob 1000]

Yep, I will post follow-up shots..

 

[Bob 1000]

Still getting along and looking good.. I don't think my archilles likes the 77.2 to 78.1 degree range..

 

[Aqua Pro Builder]

they seems hardy to me

 

[Bob 1000]

Archiles are one of the more delicate tangs.. Like powder blue tangs they don't always accept prepared foods every one of them that I have kept successfully started eating off the rocks for about a month..
