    I was wondering if it is a bad idea to put one two inch Bi-color Anthias in a 24g... What do you guys and gals think??

    Not enough room, anthias are mid water level fish, they love a lot of swimming room

    I agree, anthias love the open water and I think that 24g is not big enough.

    You're right. I thought about it a little, and I'm going to pass. These fish do a lot better in groups and in big tanks..
