Which anthias do well with bartlett?

[skyrye7]

I have 5 bartlett in my 180 gallon tank and I think 2 are males now and they are sometimes chasing each other...

I really like anthias so which other anthias would do well with them since the bartlett is slightly aggressive?

All anthias get together pretty well ime. Except for Bartletts, they tend to all turn male and pick each other off. That wasn't the case for me every time though, I've had success with 3 male Bartletts together. Any peaceful type anthias or even Lyretails should be fine with Bartletts.

I disagree. IME more aggressive anthias would be better kept with bartletts. Redbar, redstripe, lyreatils (maybe), stocky, etc.

x2..I find Bartletts to be among the more aggressive Anthias along with those mentioned...and although I'm able to keep a number of different species of Anthias together my male Lyretail and male Bartlett are the two most dominant Anthias in my tank...

Lyretails can be kept successfully with Bartletts, though when I had both they did bicker. You should be able to tell pretty easily males form females with Bartletts - males have a full pink head and the dorsal spine that sticks up Also, FWIW, groups of Lyretails are prone to picking each other off also.

IME it worked well with Carberryi, Ignitus, Dispar, Resplendent, Sunburst, and Lyretails. I don't have any experience with the rest, I could have just lucked out. I only had bickering of Bartlett's with themselves.
