Anthias & Blennies & 72 gallons?

[Leviathan_XE]

A couple of quick questions.......One, ok I love the look of colorful swimmers & those that constantly move back & forth in the water column. I just lost my female lyretail & it'll be a while before I get another, but when I do can I get one of another species as well?
I've read about male anthia aggression towards females so I would assume a pair is out, but what about another female of a different type?

Also what about mixing blennies? I have a tail-spot that's been with me for a few years but I do love the look of the midas. Would it be possible to keep the two in a tank of this size?

Odds are any anthias added to the tank will become male as it matures.

Ok, so even if I add 2 females of different species odds are that I'll just end up with two males anyway? Then what about the compatibility of two male anthias of different species? I see that most keep a few of each kind or harem so that the males aggression is spread out over a few females but my tank is too small for that No one has kept a single anthias of one species with a single specimen of another?

The 2 Blennies you mention are both from the Escenius genus so aggression could be an issue.

I kept my Midas Blenny w a Black Sailfin Blenny. No Probs.
