Trio of Lyretail Anthias

[Dylan3]

I wanted to get opinions on keeping a trio (one male and two females) of lyretail anthias in a 75 gallon reef. I have a leopard wrasse, firefish, bangaii cardinal and kole tang.

I don't see an issue with that as long as your male isn't an a.s.s.!!

I have a Trio in my 90... Have had them for close to 8 Months now with no problems. The male does push the 2 females around but I have enough rock work that they can get away easily. He only goes after them if I feed them lightly that day.

Very active fish always out looking for food.

Awesome, thank you very much.

I have a trio of 3 females. Originally had one, then picked up two smaller females. All get along fine with no aggression to speak of from the original female which is larger than the other two which are the same size and put in at the same time.

Was told by RC members that the bigger female will definitely turn male, but have seen no evidence of that yet. They are in a 90 gallon.

How long have you had them?

About 2 and a half months now. Larger one is about 3 inches and the other two are about 2 inces.

What do you guys feed your Lyretails?
