    The Fatheads comment was more for my tank. Bartlets don't get as big and also not as expensive which the money part of the Bartlets is appealing to me! Just seems like a risky venture in general to add Anthias to a tank. If there was cool colored Chromis out there I'd get those instead for my tank.

    Servillius has some in his tank. I just asked him any pro's or cons about them. It's in the new house, new tank post.

    Are you asking me? If so, then yes. They swim all over in their little group of 3.

    I have a female lyretail that has been doing great so far. I've had her for about 6 months and she eats everything. Lyretail or bartletts are the best options as already stated. That's a hard choice though, there both beautiful.
