Is your tank covered? Anthias love to jump and adding a new fish could cause this.

If you only want one fish you would be safer adding a Sunburst than another Bartlett's as they occupy a different level of the tank.

Something else to consider is that Anthias are typically schooling fish. The more the merrier. How big is your tank?

I know they are schooling fish in the wild but I heard in the limited space of an aquarium they are like chromis and slowly kill each other off. Add a school and a year later you are left with ONE dominant SOB.
