Bimaculatus anthias vs dispar anthias aggression?

[jjwrasse]

I was thinking about adding some anthias to my 170 gallon tank. Right now I have a regal angelfish that’s around 1 inch and I’m concerned about adding aggressive livestock with it until the regal’s grown. Would the bimac or dispar anthias be likely to threaten a juvenile angelfish or would they be more aggressive to fish similar in body structure like wrasses?

Also how aggressive are bimacs generally because I’m seeing a lot of mixed answers on various posts and other sites?

Dispars are less aggressive than Bimacs. They aren't aggressive towards other fish but instead they are always picking on their own kind trying to figure out who is going to be the dominate male. Than that male picks on the females to keep them females. You Angel really should be okay with both though in my opinion.

Female Bimacs arent aggressive until they become the big males that are more the issue. Most likely you will get all females and will have a bit of time until that happens. When they are small they are pretty chill to other fish.

Sounds like I can’t go wrong with either then. Thanks for the input.
