Sunburst Anthia Compatability

[dochow]

I have a single Sunnburst Anthia in my 75 gallon. I don't know the sex and from literature they are hard to sex.

Would adding another 1-2 Sunburst anthias be ok?

If no to additional Sunbursts, what anthias have people successfully kept together as single specimens from species within the Anthia realm?

Adding a male square spot or lyretail which are more open swimming may be interesting.

Thank you!

I would skip adding more sunburst anthias. Pink square, bimaculatus, fasciatus, and borbonius can all be kept with other anthias, as a single specimen of their species.

Thank you, have you had experience with mixing any of those??

Ive kept sunburst before and from research and personal experience, unless you can find a pair or trio already for sale, they are best on their own.

As far as mixing with others, in a 75g tank you'd want to stay away from some of the more boisterous/aggressive anthias such as lyre tails, bartletts, or the borbonius.

If you do add more, stick to one from the species as eatbreakfast suggested.
