Dispar bs Lyretail

[ReeferTang44]

I’m looking to get some anthias which one is better for a 90 gallon?

I’m qt all the new fish so could they go into a twenty gallon for 2-3 weeks and if so at what copper level

If one is better how many times do they need to be fed along with how many need to be in a group

Either or, really. I'm biased in that I like the coloration of the lyretails better. I can't advise on the QT/copper, but they seem to do best in odd numbers of 3 or greater. Mine get fed 4x automated pellet feedings plus 2 frozen feedings a day.

Lyretails by far- they’re like the guppies of freshwater
Very active, interact well and hardy. Assure only One male and rest female

Could I do 4 one turns to male and three females or would just three be ok

Sure. Just make sure you only get one male or they're all female.

If I get them from live Aquaria how will I know

I imagine you'd have to tell them when you place the order, ie: request all female or no more than one male. I've never used Live Aquaria (being in Canada) so I can only relay what I've done when ordering fish online.
