Ok I when I sat up my 40 breeder I ordered 4 anthis only 3 came in alive another I lost durning a long power outage now I have moved up to a 75 gallon because of the great deal I got (thanks Razz)

My problem is these 2 and even when I still had the third they pick at each other all the time :mad2: at times they even wound each other (little piece of fins missing) the only other fish in the 75 is a firefish who hides alot to avoide these beasts.I want to add another fish or 2 to this tank but I'm worried about the little hellions killing a new member.I have thought long and hard about adding them into my 48 bow front with my lunar wrasse who lives alone--- would this be wise? He is only agressive at feeding time but arent we all:lol: Has anyone else desided they arent a big fan of these rotten fish?

Next problem is any ideas on a pretty fish to add with corals to a 75? I have leathers,rics,zoas,candy canes,monti caps,potato chip chip coral,clams,feather duster,frog spawn,dunkin,and a couple of others I cant remember the names of.I have tried a couple of tanks at different times but I dont have the touch:o
I might even be willing to get rid of the anthis if I needed to but my daughter says the firefish stays!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to rant but I have been told by tons of people how great these fish are maybe I got the only 2 rotten apples in the bunch:hmm5:
 
Welcome to the world of Anthias... your anthias are normal. they constantly pick on each other just like damsels.
