Anthias

[fishgeek31]

Does anyone have experiance in Dispar anthia's in with Lyretail anthia's. live aquaria says that the lyretail are semi aggresive and my 4 Dispar are very laid back evn alittle skitish. Hope to hear from someone that has first hand knowledge. Thanks

I've got a big male lyre tail in with some queen anthias. He'll occasionally dash at them to show who's boss, generally they share the tank with no issues.

I do have them in a 140 so they have lots of room

The lyretail I had never picked on anything. The male would pick on the female a little, but I think thats fairly normal. Jeremy has them now and can tell yah how they are doing in their current tank.

Have they already started picking on them or are you just worried they might?

[fishgeek31]

I havent bought any yet but am thinking really hard about getting a male. I also want to pick up some purple queens. Hell i can't make my mind up.

[cgoodman381]

Would a male lyretail 'work' with the disbar? If not I believe they do best with at least one female.

I belive for anthia's you need to have atleast a pair of them. I need to make my mind up or my tank will be over stocked before I have it completely set up.

Did you call and see if they still have those purple queens? Those were beautiful fish!
