Juiceman Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I have 2 female and 1 male Bartlett Anthias' that I got from Stephen a while back when he was doing All WYSIWYG. I stopped seeing the smaller of the females for about a week so I just assumed she was dead. Just recently she began to come out of a small nook on the right side of the tank to eat when I feed. She stays in that nook almost all day and night. I see the male go into the nook every now and then also. Is it possible that they laid eggs in my tank and she is protecting them? Any other thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkiiCircus Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Anthias actually are pelagic spawners, so they won't "lay" eggs anywhere persay, but rather, release them in the water column. I would just assume something in the tank is being aggressive towards her, which is why she comes out to do only what she needs to do to survive: eat.
