Had a bit of a splurge at the LFS today (with the wifes permission) and picked up 5 Lyretail Anthias (1 male and 4 females)
and a female Bellus Angle.
so I think I am now completely restocked after the incident a couple of weeks ago

Very nice fish!

 

[Lesley]

beautiful. I dont know anything about them but heard they need lots of feeding ? is this correct ?

 

[Wrangy]

Stunners mate! :D you'll have to keep us informed of how you find your bellus :)

Very nice pick up Darren.
Interesting how females in most Genicanthus species are more attractive than the males... :p

Thanks @Wrangy, the LFS was a bit cheeky, I told him I was interested in the Anthias and the Bellus, next minute, both in stock for me to just have a look at. No obligation. How could I not get all of them!

Very nice - the Bellus are definitely a beautiful fish.

Love the Bellus mate, awesome!

I just recently got a male and female Genicanthus Watanabe. They are both eating like pigs, eating pellets, flake, all frozen and even nori sheets.

Have fun with 'em :).

First night done and everything still seems really happy. Not sure why but I always worry when the lights go out on the first night with new fish in the tank!

Good to hear everyone made it through the night happily :D I'm always nervy for the first week or two lol
Well you can't complain about not having an awesome lfs then :) and I don't blame you for getting all of them haha you'll be loving the bellus once she really settles in :) Mine is hand feed and if I haven't feed her and she's hungry when my hand is in the tank, she'll pick gently at my arm just to remind my that she's so hungry she's about to die :P haha

These Anthias are much more social than the Dispars I had previously, they were very shy and hid every time you went near the tank. These guys are out all the time and if you get close to the glass the male comes up and puts on a macho display.

That angel is strikingly beautiful!
