Lyretail Anthias

Soundtrack - Spiritual Groove by Antoine Dufour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dIAZV_22y4&feature=PlayList&p=F8F2C76... This is just a quick update to showcase the beauty of my 75Gal's newest guests. I bought a small harem of Lyretail Anthias about a week ago, and they have been the most wonderful fish. No agression (touch wood) at all, and have been eating very well from day one. The male is a beautiful pink/red colour, and the females are a gorgeous gold with blue eyes and two blue stripes on their cheeks.

How active are these fish and do they get agressive at other fish?

[CunningStunt123]

@Greatwhiterex They are VERY active! They pretty much swim around and chase the other fish all day. The male Anthias in this vid has since died, but now one of the bigger females has morphed into a male to replace him. They are beautiful though.

those corals look vibrant as hell. nice! it looks like the colour of the light has a redish tint to it, am i correct or is that jus the vid?

[CunningStunt123]

Thanks mate! The light looks to have more of a blueish hue in real life. I think the camera adds its own twist on the colours in the tank. All in all it looks pretty true to life, just got the colour cranked up a bit. Thanks for checking out my vid.

how do you get your corals so rich with colour can you plz do another update on this tank

[CunningStunt123]

@MrPoonani to be honest I don't really do much at all! I add magnesium, calcium, strontium and iodide every week, do 25% water change every two weeks and that's it. It might just be the fact that the vid was shot at night and the room was dark aside from the tank light, so the camera might have made it look a bit more contrasty than it was. I will make a vid agasin soon. Most of it is still the same, the cladiella on the right has been replaced, as it was slowly killing one of the other corals.

Nice tank dude

[aquatic413]

Nice tank, I lost mine in a power outage last month. I am in the process of rebuilding it again. Is this a 75 gallon? And if so I could only see one male and two females Anthias. How are they getting along? I am really thinking of getting Anthias and by far these are my favorite kind of athias. I have a 75 gallon and would like some kind of schooling fish at add color and movement to my tank. I was thinking of ether reef chromis or anthias. Thanks.

Cool because I upgraded to a 125 and waiting to fill it up with water. I really want to add maybe 2 or 3 of these.
