Single Lyretail Anthias Minimum Tank Size?

[TripleJ21]

Hi, this is just a question I've been pondering for awhile now... I have a 75 gallon reef so if I can't house a lyretail I'll understand. But after researching the topic I've seen multiple answers. At this point I'm just confusing myself. So for one Lyretail what is the minimum tank size? I've seen 60, 70, 75, 90, and 125 gallons so I just figured I'd ask the people with experience. Lol

Id say your fine in a 75. Would get a trio though as they are social fishes.

Your 75 should be fine, I assume it the same height and width as my 90, just a little shorter. From my experience, you don't need to keep them in groups, the Lyretail's will do fine as a single. I've got a male Yellow Breast (avatar photo) in my 90 now.

I had two females and a trio (1 male, 2 females) of lyretail's at two separate times. The two females was the better of the two, less aggression. The larger female semi changed to male and did occasionally chase the smaller, but not too bad. With the trio, the male usually chased the females if he saw them, so they would stay on separate sides. They even chased each other too. That's why this time I went back to one. No more chasing.
