Antheas and Chromis

[[email protected]]

Can you mix a school of Antheas and Chromis together in the one tank?
... What would be regarded as the smallest school of each for them to
be happy .

Ive got a 7 X 2 X 2 ...i'd like about 3-4 of each in the tank.

From the reading I've done, Anthias should be kept between 3 and 7 per
school, any more, and they will break up into a smaller school with the two
head males fighting it out. Also, only purchase one male, or all females...
the "lead" female will turn into a male.

Oh, and Anthias and Chromis will do fine together.. Anthias can consume
smaller inverts or fish though, so be wary of those guys.. chromis should be
fine as long as they are of decent size.
