Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone thinks I could keep any species of anthia in a 3x2x1.5 (243L) tank.

Cheers

I have done before.

Dispars are the most common and stay quite small for anthias sp.

Otherwise maybe some small squamipinis, which I have found to be amongst the toughest of anthias.

Just keep them well fed, and I mean well fed, minimum twice a day.

Or if your feeling fancy, try get a couple sunburst anthias (deep water species) there awesome!

Thanks mate, my favorites are the Squamipinis, especially the males.

I was thinking of keeping

1x Coral Beauty Angelfish
2x Ocellaris clownfish
1x red scooter blenny
4x Squamipinis Anthias 1m/3f

Does that sound ok?

A lot of ppl will say to you reef systems should be minimal stocked, however id suggest this would work well IMO.

GL with the coral beauty, every tank I have owned I had one centropgye fish species (love dwarf angels!) however every 2nd angel fish I bought, would pick at corals hey (wether it was a flame angel, lemon peel, cherub angel the list goes on)

Best dwarf angel was a potters angel, but that cost a bit of $$$ that one.

Yeah I love the potters angel, however, I still like the coral beauty. Because of the price I'll get the coral beauty.
