They may be like green chromis: either buy a large school or one or two. They'll kill each other off, as well.

How are your anthias doing? I just bought 3 and LOVE them. They are eating but I did go get more varieties of food just in case.

Hi Coralgurl, my anthias are doing AWESOME! I absolutely love them too! Both of them are eating like fiends now and they both swim out in the open with the chromis and the tang in one big group haha. I'm kinda obsessed with them to be honest... I have 2 and I really want more I want to maybe buy 2 lyretails next...

Great to hear!

Mine were really timid the first day but now they are out all the time and get in with everyone for feeding. They swim together and definitely add color to my tank. Awesome addition!

Mandy,
I have Dispar's and Lyretails together, of course you know your welcome to see them in person if you like.

Thanks Cathy! I think Anthias are my new favorite fish... Brayden and I are in the process of planning our big tank move (The tank is coming to my house). When we're all finished with it I'll take some pictures and come by to visit you and your tank and tell you how everything went
