Borbornia anthias pair...sweeet! :)

[ERIC1975]

Just got these in over the weekend! They are swimming around and started eating a little. I can see why these anthias are highly sought after...well worth the price LOL.

Nice they look like little guys. That's how I'd want to get them if I ever did. Cool fish.

Yeah they are only about 1.5 inches...a little fragile juveniles but they have nice pink color and gold patch. I can see they will look awesome when they get bigger.

It's been over a month. How are they doing?

 

[ERIC1975]

They are doing good Chrystal! Eating like pigs. Small little fishes but they have really big mouth! LOL They can really swallow big pieces of food that normal fishes couldn't handle. These guys seem to be fast grower too. Will take some updated pics next week
They prefer fresh or frozen food over pellets...but who doesn't?

Good to hear. I had heard that they can be difficult to keep.

I might have a couple for sale in a few weeks. I've been hoarding quite a few of them...5 in total LOL. I will need to sell them once they get too big for the tank. Right now I have 5 of them in a divided section of a 55 gal. PM me if you are interested.

That's some nice fish! I don't think they're hard to keep, in fact I think they're pretty hardy. Just gotta make sure that they look good at the LFS. They're deepwater fish so sometimes they have air bladder issues but that's pretty immediate and obvious. Mine took to pellets after a few days but eating frozen mysis was never a problem. I had a temp crash during the winter and the borb was one of two fish that survived and didn't seem affected. Surprising the other one that survived but barely was my PBT.
