[cutsupremetrib]

I recently bought a male lyretale at the LFS he was healthy and eating and moving around all over and he was only in a thirty gallon tank but he was with alot of females IM wondering if i went back and bought a couple females would he come out of hiding Im starting to get really worried about this pretty lil fish

Probably He needs a few ladys to chase around..Seriously, I believe they do better in groups..1 male and a few females

BTW, any good fish/reef stores in or around Lafeyette [sp?] area?..My husband travels up there once a week

how long have you had him? anthias seem pretty shy and it takes them a while to "move in" and feel comfortable. is he eating?

lyretails can get to almost 5" keep that in mind if you're adding more to a 65g
