How many anthias in a 75g?

Meadowofdragons · 11/12/2014, 11:38 PM

Hey guys! I'm newer to the hobby (about 8 months in), and I was wondering something. I want to keep 4 resplendent anthias in my 75g and was wondering if this is okay? Hoping for 1 male and 3 females.

My current stock list:
2 ocellaris clowns
1 green chromis (I had 2, but the one I have killed the other one)
1 coral beauty angelfish
1 flame angelfish

Is 4 resplendent anthias okay to add??

Go to check your fish purchases thread Snorvich can help. My own take is that's too much as the fish grow out.

The general rule is 1 Anthias (a smaller type) in a 75g, and only 3 or more in a 125g or larger. I have one Carberryi Anthias in my 75g and while I would love to add 2 more (females), I decided against it given the size of my tank.
