Mixing Anthias

[eg8r210]

I was wondering if it is ok to mix anthias in a tank? I have a 210 with two Hawaiian Thompson anthias and am looking at adding 2 Maldives Lyretail Anthias. Would they get along or am I just asking for trouble?

I also have 5 green chromis which seem to chase and get chased by each other and the anthias. My other fish all seem to ignore the anthia/chromis groups.

Lyretails can be agressive mine always were so could be a problem.

Im sure uou would be fine bro!!! Your tank is pretty big! Just be sure to add females only if you have a male inyour tank! I have a 46 gal tank with 4 lyretail and added 2 sunburst about 7 mo later and they are all doing awesome!

Could be problematic as the lyretails can become aggressive towards other fish that share the same eating habits.
