    Yesterday my Lyretail Anthias trio and Brazilian Fireball Pygmy Angel arrived! Here are some pictures! In the anthias picture, the female on top is in the process of changing to a male. Some of the shots have dirty glass - sorry! And excuse the algae. There was an issue with my reactor not running for a long time....woops! lol Enjoy!!

    Edit: More pics on next page!

    Congrats! Your tank has a lot of action now!

    Cool! I'd love someday to have a huge tank with a school of anthias. I love those fish.

    Matt! I can't take pictures :( The only way I can get them to turn out semi decent is to turn off the aquarium lights and use the flash!

    I love all the active fish. The anthias have really made everyone swim around like crazy!! I just sat there watching for like an hour yesterday! So much fun! And I thought the angel would be shy - but he's out and about all day!

    Thanks!! Having a school of anthias has always been my dream. I'd love to have more than 3 - when I get a huuuge tank!

    Definitely do it! They are great. They are so active - swimming all over the tank constantly - and usually out in the open. Make sure they are eating before you bring them home. And make sure when you get them you post pictures!
