Anthias?

My first fish purchase will be a attempted trio of Bartlett's Anthias; but, of coarse, I've run into two problems.

1. Live Aquaria doesn't sell the fish as a trio, and I might get 2 males and a female or (heaven forbid) 3 males...
2. I'm not sure how to acclimate them, and get them started on frozen food.

Any thoughts?

usually they sell them separate. like you can buy a male and then a female or at least email them about it. Drip Acclimate them in something you can mostly cover to keep them out of the light. My fish seem to do better with low light when going through the acclimation process. No QT is the popular thing with anthias since they usually dont take the confines very well.

Call Wil at Aquatic Obsessions and he can order them for you, no shipping, healthy, and he can get you genders you ask for. He is also a sponsor here and known for good stock.

I've run into a problem. Will says the Bartlett's are extremely hard to sex, and he can't guarantee it. Are they're any other hardy ones that are easier to sex but look as nice as the Bartlett's?
