aztbs, did you buy them all together? What about feeding schedule? Any other aggressive fish in the tank?
While yours is just one case report, it's making me re-think my stocking strategy as I was also thinking of doing 7-8+ females in at least a 180 (similar to the lyretail strategy).
In addition, stocking 1 bartlett per 40-50 gallons seems to result in all males, at least from some of the reports in this thread.
Now, I'm not sure. Maybe there's other contributing factors other than # of fish per gallons ratio in order to keep a harem long term (i.e. aggressive fish)?
I remember reading on one of the threads that one guy's 3 purple tangs started schooling after he put in a sohal.
Come on anthia-experienced reefers, let's hear your thoughts!!
