I have a pair of Lyretail anthias that I've had for over a year now. They use to be in a 29gallon along with a pair of bartletts, but the bartletts were basically bullied to stay toward the back of the tank. I recent moved and broke down the 29gallon and added the pair of lyretails to my new 70gallon. my bartletts did not make the move :cry:. I would really like to add another anthias and since my male lyretail is such a bully i was thinking maybe a single male squareback that is the same size or a little bit bigger or maybe a sunburst. LMK what you think, Thnaks, Joe

the 70 will give alittle more room which will help with aggression....I currently have a trio of Lyretails and a pair of Sunbursts. I had Squarebacks also, but they were just as aggressive as the Lyretails so I removed them. The Sunbursts are not aggressive at all and keep to themselves. They also don't venture out too far from the rocks unlike the Lyretails and Squares which for me are a more of an open water fish...
