What are some of your favorite schooling anthias you have in your tank, or have had in your tank?
Take into consideration; color, temperament, survival rate, etc..
Pics are also welcome. :bigsmile:

I currently have 4 Lyrtails (3 female 1 male, started with 4 females) as well as 3 female dispars in my 180. The largest Lyrtail immediately began changing and within a couple months has become a full blown male. The dispars form alot 'tighter' school then the lyrtails in my experience. Ive kept them all successfully for almost a year now. I had tried purple queens but did not have any luck with them as they are quite picky when it comes to food. All of the Anthias i have now eat like pigs and even give my wrasses and tangs a run for there money come feeding time.
