Hi all! I recently got a trio of Bartlett’s, suppose to be one male and two females. I’m having my doubts, could I get your opinions. Thank you!

First one is a female Bartlett. Others look more like female tuka to me. Unfortunately they’re almost impossible to keep alive.

Pic 1 is a bartlett, the other 2 look like bicolor anthias. A hardy species.

I think so too. LFS and wholesalers keep telling me there Bartlett’s but I’ve just not come across some that look like these in the past. Do you think the bicolor may cause any issues to fairy/flasher wrasses?

They won't cause any real issues. They may swoop towards the wrasses during feedings, but nothing serious.
