    I'm glad I added the other 2 anthias, because now i see my first 2 a lot more...i guess they feel safer with numbers :)

    Anthias really do enjoy having a school. If you can find more of the same species you could end up with a very healthy and natural acting school. You might want to get to 7 to 9 to get a nice schooling action.

    The only thing I have started dosing is Vodka...and boy have the colors came out in my corals since...once in a while I add some calcium, but everything is pretty much kept in check by water changes...i try and do at least 50G a month....usually split into 2 25G changes
