I’d like to put some anthias in my tank, but don’t really know what I’m doing with these fish yet. Tank is 130 cube. Currently has a swallowtail angel, lavender tang, pair of clowns, pair or orchid dottybacks.
I’ve been thinking about a trio of lyre tails, but I don’t know if only three would be ok. Will it? I’ve read things that the lyretails can get a bit bossy. Is there a better species I should consider?
Thanks!

I think the Lyres will be fine with your current stocking list. I would, however, go with four instead of three. Also, save a couple bucks and purchase all females. They are hemaphoditic and the largest and most dominant will transition. It is a fun process to watch. Happy reefing!
