I have had a happy/healthy female Squareback Anthia for about 4 years now and it’s about 5 inches long. I love the fish but I personally think the male Squareback is one of the best looking Anthias you can get. Wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I could bring in another one or two females to get my current one to transition to male.

My list of ideas:
1. Get one smaller female. The hierarchy should be settled quick and maybe reduce fighting prior to the current anthia changing.
2. Get two smaller females to spread out aggression from the current big one.
3. I’m screwed and need to go buy a big male.
