Ventralis anthias and catalina goby

[suvuong7]

Anyone have success in keeping these fish in their reef tank? If so what advice can you give because am looking into adding them to my 100 gal

Catalina goby's live in colder waters, so you won't be able to keep one in a reef. It will eventually perish.

And ventralis are finicky eaters. Buy some that are already eating and established.

Don't! Ventralis anthias need multiple feedings a day and it is very difficult to get them to eat at all. Because their stomachs are very small long term survival requires at least 4 or 5 feedings a day,
The Catalina Goby is a cool water fish that will not tolerate the warmer temperatures most of us keep out tanks at. Unless you are setting up a cold water tank, pass on it.

IMHO any Anthia needs multiple feedings

Gorgeous Anthias, had never seen those before

From readings they look really hard to take care of. If you are not able to feed them that many times a day then I wouldn't do it. There is a reason why not a lot of people have them. They are considered expert level. I would definitely quarantined them and try to get them to eat first before going into a display tank.
