Anthias in 90 gallon

[pnsnowboard]

has anyone sucessfully kept more than one Anthias together with out them killing each other in a 90 or smaller and please specify how long and species i think i want bartlett's

I have two (one male, one female) P. truncatus in a 55. They've been together about 2 and a half months now. They get along great. The male occasionally chases the female, but never damages her. The male is about 4", the female around 2".

I just added 3 bartlett's to my 90g, but it's only been about 2 weeks so far, so no-long term input from me

I had a Bartlett trio for almost a year in a 30g hex. I know, spare me the lectures....I learned. Had to remove them as they required too much food, even with a 5 ft tall DIY skimmer. They were fine with each other.

I have three Females and a male in my 75. They have been togther for almost a year. No problems here. Just make sure your skimmer can export the extra waste.

I've had 2 lyretails in my 90 for around 6 months, and they seem to be quite at home. There's a little chasing from time to time, but they've buddied up with my yellow tang and the chasing is fairly diffused. The male is around 3 inches long, and the female around 2.5. They're great!

3 pink square anthias in a 100gal.. male is about 4 inches and 2 females about 2 1/2 - 3 inches...

male chases them around the tank if they venture to his side of the tank and the 2 females chases each other around the whole tank.

And yes I only feed them once.. but that is in a long duration till they don't want anymore food.

I had two dispar's and a sunburst? i think anthias in there for a long time, in a 92 gallon corner tank. and they always seemed to do fine. I've always thought anthias to be a schooling type of fish. the local aquarium has a tank of about 200 dispar anthias in maybe a 300-400 gallon tank, and my dad has asked about them before and there seems to be no problems with the anthias all together in there. i duno maybe dispar's are just different or something.

On a similar subject, is mixing Anthias species a possibility, or will they fight. For example, could I add a female Bartlett's to my tank that already has a male and female P. truncatus? Or would the Truncatus kill the Bartlett's?

i dont know i would like to know that too

barrier reef aquarium here in seattle has a mix of blotched, fathead and lyretails in their 300 gal display tank. they seem to get along fine.

 

[Mrbeachbum2]

how many times and what were you feeding these?

I have a 90 and I hope to mix multiple species of anthias. It requires good water quality and good selection of species. As well as multiple feedings. From my understanding.
