Ruby anthias

Vin7250 · 09/18/2010, 11:52 AM

A buddy's tank broke last night so me and a few friends parted it out. I took a fish called a ruby anthias. I have had anthias before but not sure about this specific one. Can anyone advise me? It seems to be doing great so far.

Being an anthia, it probably needs frequent daily feedings. You should probably just look at general anthia care advice.

I'd love to see a picture of one. Would you post it?

+1 on the feeding, at least twice a day, 4 times would be better.

i will post some pics as soon as I can. I never realized the nutritional requirements were so high for this fish

Also agree on feeding, lost a few because I am at work throughout the day and only feed in the morning and evening, not quite enough for them. OT, I built a new 90G tank at work

got 8 chromis who are getting fed almost every hour (small amount) and they are vey happy. Thinking about anthias in this tank since I feed often here.
