Anyone keep different species of anthias in the same tank?

I really do think you need a higher ration of females to 2 males.

I really wish this thread wasn't from 2008 because I'm getting into anthias as of late. I was wondering the same thing about mixing them, The Bartletts are so beautiful but so are the lyretails in their own right. I was wanting to mix the both of them in my 140 FOWLR. If anyone read this please respond. I'm gonna do more homework but I always come here first. lol

You can mix anthias species, but I don't recommend it with P. squamipinnis. The Bartletts' anthias that you are proposing would be fine, though. The former doesn't really get along well with other anthias or even members of its own species in aquarium confines. P. bartlettorum is different in that regard.
