What type of Anthias should I get?

[colinsta]

So I am in need of some advice. I have a 135 gallon tank with the following fish:
Blue throat trigger
Yellow tang
Yellow coris wrasse
Midas blenny
Purple firefish
Mystery wrasse
Bangaii cardinal
2 clowns
Carpenters flasher

I am wanting some type of anthias for my tank to round out the stocking. I am interested in the lyretail, bartletts, and the sunburst fathead anthias. I know the fatheads only usually are one per tank and the others I can get a male and a couple females. So to the question. What anthias do y'all recommend and would adding them this late in stocking possibly put them at risk for being picked on? I already feed twice a day and am considering an auto feeder so I got their feeding needs taken care of.

Thanks for your help.

I'm a fan of the Lyretails. Fairly hardy and nice looking fish. QT the group all at once so you don't end up with fighters. It's always a risk adding new fish with established fish. Always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

I had a male lyretail and he was awsome. The color was amazing and def was a nice addition. He was in a tank with a yellow tang 2 clowns and a halriquin tusk never had a issue

So I'm actually looking into the Carberryi Anthias now. Does anybody have any experiences with these? The only place I can find them is LiveAquaria and they don't specify male or female.

Love my 3 Bartlett's. Want to get some Lori's. Cause of their awesome name.

The Blotchy ones are pretty dope

In my experience, the sunburst fathead likes lower light. If you're running lots of light, I wouldn't recommend them. For what it's worth, I just ordered 4 square back anthias and all 4 arrived DOA. Normally they ship pretty well, but aren't the easiest to keep in captivity. I guess lesson learned. Sorry, I have no experience with the Carberryi.

I have a pair of squareback, and now I wish I would have gone with the Lyretails. They are a bit less aggressive from what I have heard. My squarebacks are mean!
