Personal choice I guess.

I could say Lyretail as my guys going on 4 Years with me now, but all his girls I got with him all died from that outbreak. But that's not their fault, everyone but the male anthias and my sailfin blenny died from that. So I don't strike that against the anthias.

Both the dispars and the Lyretail I had were put on pellets just as easily.
I think the adult male Lyretail are stunning fish when they start turning red/purple, where as Dispars look like they have a mullet going on

In all honesty... I only picked those species because thats what J&L had at the time, and they were around $20 each, I wasn't spending more then that per fish

how long did you have the dispar for? did you notice their colour ever go dull?

I had them for a few months. They were nice and fat. All the same colour, but one was slightly bigger and you could tell he was the male for sure.
They died because of my own stupidity. I was still new at this reef thing. Bad waterchange, filled the tank too full (no surface agitation), water was cloudy, so many things I did wrong, woke up and everyone was dead. Goby, Clowns, Damsel, Anthias, scooter blenny.
I only ever fed once a day.

I have 1 lyretail , 1 carberry anthia and they both hang out together , they both eat flake out of the auto feeder and are only fed once a day . I would say lyretail`s are very hardy once established and are fine single and mix just fine with other anthias .
