Schooling Anthias -- Borbonius & Sunburst

[esther]

So, I want to add both of these to our tank (220g). How many of each would be too many? I was thinking 3 & 3. Is that good? Do you think that this would be a problem? Any help or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!

As far as i was aware those species are more solitary as they get older and may be somewhat agressive to conspecifics, but in that size of tank i would imagine it would be doable.

Borbonias is VERY EXPENSIVE! My LFS has one for $499!

I have a company I buy all of my fish from. I know they're expensive, but they're going to be the stars of the tank! :)

Blotchies are tough as nails. They’ll survive with anyone. I would add the sunburst first as they are shy. You want to get them eating before adding blotchies. Blotchies will hide the first day and eat like Pac-Man next day regardless of tank mates. ;) good luck!
