What are the characteristics of the Dispar Anthias? Will they mix with Carberryi? Thanks!

The Craberryi, Ignitis, and Dispar Anthias are all very similar in temperment, sociability, feeding and care levels.

Don't forget they look a lot alike as well... Some color differences but shape looks quite similar...

Thanks. Also considering Ignitis.

Thanks. Also considering Ignitis.

My preference is Ignitis over Dispar and this is based on solely on their color hue.

I have both dispar and ignitus anthias. I now have 2 male dispars ( one changed in my care) and 1 ignitus female who stays close to the 2 male dispars, they all get along great despite two being male. Temperament is very similar to carberryi, I suspect they'd do well together. They all eat everything I feed, NLS pellets and numerous frozen varieties. They have been very peaceful, getting along well with a couple fairy wrasses, leopard wrasse, firefish, etc.

Ive had them for 12+ months now
