Anthias

[dustin_P74]

i actually was considering buying 3 square spots ... my LFS has 5 of them in and i was thinking about getting 2 females and 1 male

if your going to do that, ask them to feed the fish and get the most aggressive eaters, and make sure they have treated for internal parasites

And that, folks, is a preview of Living Reefs' new species database, but every entry has a picture at the bottom too.
