Mixing Anthias

[Patriot76]

Right now I have 2 Bartlett Anthias in my 180g DT, along with 2 True Percs, 3 Tangs, 1 Scooter Blenny, & 1 Purple Psuedo. I am considering adding 5 Lyretail Anthias, any advice or suggestions for or against adding these guys?

anyone? anyone?

Trop has a tank with many anthias of different species. Of course it is at least a 600g tank, lol. We've had different anthias in our tank before, but some were more shy than others and I don't think that works well (the shy ones disappeared). That said Bartletts and Lyretails are both fairly outgoing for anthias so I think it would be fine.

so far, eh....

the lyretails are out in the open, but the bartletts are not happy about it

Crossing my fingers that it all works out. I have this terrible luck of 1 fish in 1 fish out. I put in Anthias and my chromis disappeared. At least I got to keep the prettier fish.

3 of the lyretails are hanging out in the open, the other 2 are being a bit shy. one bartlett is periodically letting them know who was there first. but all 5 lyretails did eat this morning.
