I started redoing my 75g tank slowly about 9m ago and and still haven't added fish. Love the colors of them all. How few lyretails can a person get away with? I was thinking of 1male and 2 female? Not sure if that's a good idea though?

Hey Rich, how are the firefish?

I've actually never kept one, but read they pick one another off...
Do you have multiples of the same species? Or just one of each?
Do they leave each other alone?

They look so cool in the stores seeing a bunch of them hovering around.
Have always wanted a few of them.

Little guy, been here for a while but have a hard time getting around the tank, too much flow.

Lyretails for me is the only anthais that does pick off each other as long as food is abundant. I had 6 for the longest time but then decided to add a few more but 6 seems to be the magic number for me.

Let's just say I started off with 3 reds 3 purples and 2 helfriche....my helfriche is by far the more aggressive one but I rather that than vice versa.

Default Few coral and fish pics





Something about the true undata .... just have to be in the collection.



Another must have piece is the Oregon tort. Truly timeless piece.





Fathead anthias. Although I really do miss my borbonius pair but these will do for replacement that doesn't break the bank.



Helifriche firefish.



My personal favorite, Rhomboid wrasse. First time I ever bought this fish was at JL and the poor girl there sold me the fish by mistake for $40. After Jeff called me I reluctantly brought it back cause I didn't want to get any one in shit. After some research I finally purchased this gorgeous fish some time after. By far, this is one of the top pick wrasses to acquire.





Another must have wrasse, flame.





One more must have....I know I know....I have issues with wrasses.

I am still on the hunt for a fiji or aussie scotts wrasse.

Awesome pics rich, love those fish pics. Where's the Royal Grammer?

If the price of helfrici wasn't so much these days I would love one, also the exquisite fire fish with yellow bellies are pretty neat and they dwarf the regular ones.

The colours of your fish and corals make for a stunning display.

That's not a wrasse in those last pics. That's a very colourful tuna fish. Lol
