Evansi Anthias

well i havent been here for a while...my wife just had a baby last month so i been super busy. Anyways i picked up 4 Evansi Anthias ( super price)they are in awesome shape...but i also know they are really picky eaters and without the right conditions they dont last really long...anywayz i was wondering does anybody know a good way to feed these guys...what food in particular do they like...i have marine snow and planing on picking up zooplex..since they are pretty much eat plankton in the wild...Any ideas? thanx

here is a quick pic.

 

They'll usually eat frozen cyclopeeze

 

Are you sure those are evansi?

A friend bought a couple thinking they were Bartlett's, when in fact they were evansi's.

Evansii's are more yellow than the ones you have.

I am by no means an anthias expert, but due to the bartlett / evansi purchase a friend made, I think you might have a different species than evansii's.

 

ya iam pretty sure they are evansi, i have been feeding them zooplex and looks like they are eating. any other ideas?

 

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Evansi Anthias

Yeah, I have to retract my last statement, those do appear to be evansi anthias.

My friend that bought evansi anthias (thinking they were bartlett's) feeds his rods reef food, actually limpet's reef now, but that is very similar.
