    anthias are generally pretty energetic and swimming fish. A 30 is a pretty tight fit for one. I have a lyretail in my 75 and it is a very active swimmer.

    very nice looking tank though.

    It seems happy. I bought it at a pretty reputable fish store in the area and they assured me that having one of this species is fine for 25 gallons so 30 wouldn't be a problem. It has made a home in the back of my LR in a cave and she sleeps there at night. It's kinda of funny how each fish has their own sleeping place in the tank.

    Thanks for the compliments!

    My fish all have their own spots also, lol. Your tank looks good.
