With the recent thread on keeping Bartlett's and my own failures at keeping them in schools. What are some other Anthias that could be kept in schools of 8-12 fish? Still planning out my new 180, so now is a good time to research some other options.
 
I'm a huge fan of lyretails myself, easy to keep and keep good color, adapt to pellets quickly.
I do an autofeeder which helps w/ the multiple daily feedings most require.
The other cool thing is they mix well w/ other species, and more finicky anthias often join in w/ them at eating time, kind of brings out the finicky eaters.
I have a mix of Lyretails, carberryi's, dispars.
I like the idea of having around 4-5 of each species, and would add ignitus to that mix as well for somewhat easy to keep anthia.
