Anthias questions

[happyclam]

Would a 135 gallon tank be large enough for a harem of Lyretail Anthias? I know they say you need a 180 gallon for a harem, but the only diferrence between a 180 and a 135 is that the 180 is 6" wider. Oh yeah, don't worry, I wouldn't add the anthias untill my tank successfully passed the 1 year marker.

Tagging along; I'm curious as well!

Happyclam, a 135 should be fine.
I have a harem of one male and 3 females in a 55 gallon. The problem is with aggression. The male will constantly remind his females who is boss and will chase and harrass them to no end. As long as you provide plenty of hiding spots, they should be fine. Also, make sure the male is well fed. A full fish is a happy and less aggressive fish.
