Bicolor Anthias

Does anyone have any experience with these types of
anthias? Do they do well with other anthias? I was thinking about adding one to my 90 Gallon. I already have 3 bartlet's in my tank. I heard they might be aggressive with not only other anthias but other fish as well.
Thanks

they get about 5-6". I have a male right now, thats beautiful but huge. They are more aggressive then other anthias, but can be kept with other species if the tank is large enough. what were you planning to add with them?

Thanks for the response. My tank has been for 2 years and I added the 3 Bartletts to my tank about a month ago and I love them. I have one male and two females. I hope it stays that way. Anyway I also have a yellow tang, six line wrasse, royal gramma and 2 chromis. I saw the Bicolor's in the LFS and they look awesome. I wanted to add one or two females but was afraid the bartlett's and the Bicolor's will fight to death. So I'm not sure about mixing these two beauties, especially when my tank is only a 90 gallon. This fish will be the last one I add. Do you have any other Anthias with your Male Bicolor?

Thanks

there are 4 smaller bicolors and a small bartlett in with them. If they are small i would get them. No more then 2 though. They will be fine with the bartletts.

I think I will get 2 females to add to my 90.

Beach Bum are your Bicolor's females or is one a male?

Thanks for everyone's feedback
