Anthias question

[Shallow Planet]

I have a 150g mixed reef. Currently have 4 bartlett anthias. 1 male and 3 females. Would like to add more anthias. Any issues with Resplendant or Lyertails? Would probably add 3-5.

Also should I add only females? would a male of another species fight with the male bartlett?

Bartlett’s are notoriously aggressive. You may encounter issues.

You should be fine. I would suggest only add females, and let any males develop. I have Lyretails and Bartletts, the males seem to mostly ignore each other and other fish, and just keep their females inline.

I second lyretails and bartletts. I have 5 and 5, both groups with 1 male each. All they do, like mentioned, is keep the females in line. Have not given 2 looks to each other in the year they have been in the tank.
