Tricolor Anthias ( Pseudanthias rubrizonatus)

i have a 65 and only 2 perculas in there as we speak and would like to put like 2 lLyretail Anthias and one Tricolor Anthia in there

if i add them all at once do you think it will be ok ?

i have a large DAS skimmer wich pulls poop out like a mother and its for a 150 gal. tank and its on my 65 so im not to worried about the amount of poop, just weather there gana kill one another? and if the Tricolor Anthias is hardy ?
( i have alot of flow and space.)

I'm sorry but I have no experience with a tri-color.I do know my male lyretail is aggressive to other anthias.I only can imagine how bad it would be if it only had one to pick on.

I wouldn't mix anthias species in a 65g, especally two large males like those guys. Pick one.

Skip the tri-color. They can be pretty aggressive.
