Bartletts Anthias and flasher wrasses

[Ira]

Hey all,

Can anyone speak the temperament of these Anthias from experience? I am thinking of getting a trio and my tank is currently stocked with mostly peaceful flasher wrasses and gobies, and various sites have the temperament listed differently, so I want to know if I am going to have problems with this species.

Thanks!

I would not put Barletts in the tank. Mine chase my Carpenters periodically.

All 5 of my Bartletts get chased by my carpenters wrasse and whip fin wrasse. The other wrasses leave them alone though.

They tend not to get along with fish swimming in the same water column as them, so blennies and etc are safe from them, based on my past experiences with them on 3 different occasions. If you are going to get them no matter what, I'd recommend them as being last. They can be quite vicious even against much much larger fish.

I have four in my 120 (soon to be 180) and they are not the nicest fish in the world. The females are not that bad, but the male is pretty rough on any other fish in my tank. Having said that, they are beautiful fish and I plan on adding some dispars to go with them in my 180.

Carberryi or ignitus anthias would be better choices than Bartlett's, IMO.
