Mixing anthias in a reef question

[steevareno2002]

I have a 72 gal tank and like the Bartletts, Ignitus and Dispar anthia but am not sure if it's ok to mix them in such a small tank or even a big tank for that matter. Can i do this safely or will they fight? Thanks for the advice!

IME&IMO; mixing Anthias in a tank this size will probably result in just one male surviving. You're better off with 1 male and a few females. I'm sure its been done with some success (what hasn't?); but I was never able to mix them in a 6', 100 gal tank.

probably a good idea to stick with one group. Thanks
