Should I risk mixing Anthias?

[TripleJ21]

I have had a Barlett's Anthias for about 4 months in my 75 gallon display. I have always wanted a Lyretail. Should I risk adding the Lyretail to my display? I know Barlett's can be some of the meaner Anthias. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Ive seen it done plenty of times with no issue. Lyretails are much more "robust" species, and shouldn't put up with any heckling from the Bartlett's if he tries anything. Just to be safe, I would try finding one that is larger than your established Bartlett's, just to help reduce the chance of aggression.
