    Haha what do you mean cosmo? :)

    And toallhisdoom thanks a ton for all the great advice, unfortunatly people on a differant forum dont think i should get a pair because they swim too much :/ btw your anthias look amazing, and so does the rest of your tank!!!

    The anthias are recommended 75 gal or larger. So i would say you could prob get away with 1 in your tank. And a nice wrasse. just go that route.

    This is amy, she is my lyretail anthias, the pic really does not do her justice. I just love the way their fins flow and the colors really stand out!
