Mixed Athias Shoal

[krzyphsygy]

I would like to add shoal of anthias to my tank. Well I guess its a shoal, the ones I am looking at doing for my 125 are:

2 Evansi Anthias
2 Bartlett Anthias
1 Lyretail Anthias

Maybe a male of one of the above species but not sure. Any way, I QT every fish for 4-6 weeks and cant really think of how to QT them all at once. My QT is a 10 gallon. I do have a 30 long but really did not want to set that up.

Can I add them one species at a time over the course of 18 weeks? Or will they be teratorial towards each other.

I'd skip the bartletts, very aggressive to other anthias IME. Evansi can be difficult to feed. Easier choices IMO to mix with lyretails would be ignitus and or dispars. I've heard randall/tierra anthias are both hardy, but I'm not sure how they mix with other anthias.

The Bartletts and Evansi are my top picks because of beauty....really beautiful fish. I will look inot the other ones you talk about. Thanks
