How/what to feed anthias?

[Tony Gill]

I kept Pseudanthias species many years ago (back in the early 80s). I had trouble getting them to take food (I tried various small crustaceans, including brine shrimp and mysids), but then found an article that listed fish eggs and larvae as a significant component of the diet of some species. I offered mine some fish embryos that I dissected from pregnant Gambusia holbrooki (a livebearing freshwater fish introduced to Australia from the USA to control mosquitoes, but now a noxious pest species). They immediately gobbled them up, and rapidly put on weight, allowing time for me to train them to take other foods.
