anthias in a 50g?

[dzeadow]

I'm just doing research for colorful swimming fish so don't jump my arse for asking :lol: . Is there any anthias species that I can keep 1 or 2 of in a 50g breeder (36x18x18)? I have 2 50's, one has 2 baby clowns, 1 medium YWG, and 1 large aurora goby and 2 tiger pistols. the other has 2 medium clowns and a yellow clown goby. There's lots of swimming room in both. TIA.

How about a couple of bartlett's? their max size on LA is listed as 3". Or ignitus @ 3"? resplendent or square back? These all seem to stay small and only have a large tank minimum listed if you keep "groups". I was thinking of 2, is that unadviseable? Thanks.

With anthias you're supposed to either keep just one, or 3 or 4+.

ok cool, thanks for the reply. The search for a swimming, colorful, reef-safe fish(besides chromis) continues!
