mixing anthias

[klasiksb]

I have a 140 gallon tank and was wondering your thoughts on mixing 2 different trios of anthias? Are some better than others at getting along or is it just not a good idea?
Thanks,
Sheila

Klasiksb,

Thank you for your inquiry. Due to possible aggression between the males of this species, we suggest using caution in housing more than one type of Anthias together. The ideal setup for keeping several of these fish is by housing one male with several females. Additionally, this fish should be provided with several hiding places throughout the aquarium.
