Whats the general consensus in Antheas ...moderate / hard to keep ?
Im looking at about 4 of them for a 6ft tank.. Do they readly feed on
flakey foods etc

All I know is that they have a high metabolism and have to eat more. Feeding 3
times a day is not unheard of.

Put 3 Lyretail's in my 6ft tank 3 weeks ago. I did lose one after about a
week...they were very picky about taking flake food, especially from the
water surface. Mixed up some daphnia and flake food and "injected" into the
water with large syringe and seemed to work well. The remaining 2 are doing
great....have also had a Bartlett's in my tank for 3 years...he is getting
along with and chilling out with the new guys. HTH

I recently thought about buying some sunburst antheas from my LFS, but
they were $55.00 each. I wouldn't keep antheas unless I have more than
one.
