Anthias

[Lynn52]

I have a 125 gallon tank. I would like to add a trio of anthias. What would be a good variety to add. I know some are more difficult than others.
In my tank I have the following:

Flame angel
fire fish
McCoskers flasher wrasse
oscelaris clown
orchid dottyback
PJ cardinal
blue tang
spotted mandarin

I have had all of these fish for at least 14 months and some for a couple years. Nothing has been added since last February when I added the mandarin and the blue tang (she was accidentally included in an online shipment, only the size of a dime then).

Squamipinnis and bartletts are among the hardiest anthias, but can be a bit feisty amongst themselves, but should be fine in a 125.

Randalls and dispars are almost as hardy, but are more peaceful with each other.

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to look them up. I do prefer a little more peaceful.
