Bartlett's Anthias

Is it common that blue-green chromis school along with them? This is great.

Queens and Tukas are way to much work and their survival rate is to low for me to keep. i just do not have the time for it anymore.

I bet we are getting close to keeping these fish with the better foods on the market and some of the ingenious ways people are able to feed frozen and live food 24 hrs a day to their tank now for nps tanks.
mounting refrigerators under the tank etc.

I kept five tuka alive for almost 18 months exactly as you say .... in my NPS tank along with a few blueberry seafans. Required herculean efforts though. No patience for that again.

Pretty much, yes, I've had several groupings over the years of both and they always seem to group together, and it's an awesome mix of color.

Lyretails are one of my favorite.

Agree w/ others on bartletts, while once in a while I see exceptions, most of the time they turn male and dwindle in numbers.

Mine does, but male lyretail anthias beats the crap out of them and threats them like they are female anthias. Good thing is that this greatly reduce the aggression between chromis. If chromis start to fight, male anthias comes and beats both. Same way how male lt anthias doesn't let females fight.

Imo if there are female anthias killing each other, there are two many females for the male. Males do not let females fight to a point of killing each other.
