Lyretail Anthias

[cidermaster]

I have a male anthias that I’ve had for awhile and decided to get him 6 females .two of the females are bigger than the male will this be an issue ? Will the bigger female turn in a male ? Or will the male be able to keep them female ? Thanks

It depends how aggressively your existing male is with the females and if the new females accept his dominance. If they do then you will have your male and 6 females-if not you may have one (or more) females vying for the males job, then they may or may not decide to oust the existing male.
