anthias suggestion

[jon1985]

Ok so I would like to add a few anthias to my tank.  I have an 80 gallon mixed reef tank. 

Current stock
black clown pair
saddle carpet nem
pink bta
cleaner shrimp
pep shrimp
nem crab
emrald crab
20-30 various snails



Wish list
yellow tang (not for sure)
coral beauty
diamond watchman goby
pair of bengii cardinals
2 or 3 smaller fish

So what Im looking for is some personal experience with keeping multiple anthia long term.  They would all be the same species and introduced to the tank at the same time.  I havent settled on a number yet as it would depend on the species.  It would probably be 4-6 depending on wether they are known to kill eachother before they settle in.  I would like to end up with 3 or 4 in the end.

Right now I am leaning towards lyrtails but am by no means set on them.

All opinions are great.
Thnks
Jon

dispars or lyretails...1 male 3-4 females would be ideal what is the length of the tank? bartletts are also good choice but id rather the dispars over them there are also alot of nice anthias but getting ahold of them will be difficult..like the redstripe (fasciatus) and the blood spot (luzonensis) if you like the lyretail body shape then jump on those guys cause they're stellar!

for a 60gal barlett or dispar for sure, 5-6 max and feed 2-3 times daily in smaller quantity.
