I am in the midst of building a 125 gallon reef and plan to keep a mix of anthias, gobies, and chromis together in there. I am interested in hearing peoples experiences with different species of anthias. Which ones to get and which to avoid in terms of the easiest to keep, temperment, easiest to feed, etc..
As I understand it now:
Lyretails get up to 5" and can be semi aggressive
Bartlets stay closer to 3" but are primarily plankton eaters and a little tougher to keep.
Squarebacks can be semi aggressive and grow to 4-5", but are good eaters.
Dispar are peaceful but can be hard to feed.
Right now I am leaning towards a mix or Lyretails and Squarebacks. Any advice on these guys or other Anthias species would be appreciated.
