Hutchi Anthias

Anyone have exp with keeping these guys?

Feedback?

 

I've had horrible luck with any anthias! Ps how you like the new tank thinking about getting the same size

 

I love it, perfect size for me. Everyone that sees it can't stop looking at it

 

These are beautiful fish BTW as most all Anthias are in my opinion.

 

Don't know. Not much info on them. Why don't you find out and tell us

 

They will most likely behave similarly to your standard anthias as they have the same genus as they typical lyretail anthias.
I have foud to keep my hariem happy, you start by introducing them together. I place them in an acclimation container in a dimly lit sump. Then place in a piece of PVC pipe. They will all huddle in the pipe for protection. Then carefully transport the pipe with anthias into the tank or QT. They will venture out on their own, usually as a group.

Diet should be foods high in fatty protein and anslaxin. Such as golden pearls, SA hatchery diet, and cyclopeeze. This will keep high activity and brilliant colors. I feed once a day but multiple feedings would be better.
My sunset anthias took to golden pearls immediately.

 

I ended up picking up a shoal of these, 1 male and 3 females. I can see why some adore this type of fish. They are beautiful. So far acclimation has been fine, with nibbles of mysis and flake but not huge appetites. Shy until feeding, then schooling together mid tank of my MP40 flow.
