I got 3 female and 1 male dispar few days ago. But they seemed refused to eat.

Just swimming ard the tank. Saw they eat copepods on the sandbed only.

I tried to feed them with cyclopeeze.

Cyclopeeze should work. I also feed them the flake cyclopeeze. they also gobble.

but I think most important if you have other anthias in your tank that are feeding well. They tend to follow. My dispars follow my bartlets and truncate when feeding.

[Hon]

Anyone have a pic of how an alpha male dispar will look like??

Eh without any female, think you will be having war in your tank liao

I saw your recent photos.. they should be males. The most brilliant ones are the alphas.

Take a look at my dive photos of them in the wild. The colours are far out! My Sipadan dive trip photos.

Quite a few ways, male usually have very long pelvic and scissors like tail fin and they are more nice in colour than the female

[Hon]

So is there a different in a male dispar and an alpha male dispar?
