ID my Anthias

[maroun.c]

Few week ago I got 4 anthias. One of them died soon after I got them. and I'm left with these 3. Ihad asked for Lyretails but got those which I don't believe are lyretails.
Can you please ID them and also inform me if they are makes or females?

These are the two that look together and I'm thinking they are male and female?

And this is the one that looks different I'm thinking lyretail but I believe Lyretails don't have those orange spots at the edge of their tail? Is it a female or male?

1st one = Pseudanthias dispar
2nd one = pseudanthias truncatus

the pseduanthias truncatus, i have a pair, and from that photo it looks like a male or juvenile.

The females and males are very similar

Thanks for your help.
Are the two Dispar anthias in the first picture one male and one female as I can see some difference in color and fin shape?
Do you think its still safe to add 3-4 female and 1 male lyretail or will males from different species also fight as I was told in another post?

do you have any lyretails atm? and yes in the pic the bottom one looks like the male

[maroun.c]

do you have any lyretails atm?

No don't have any yet

ahhh, they might be ok, but i know my truncate anthias can be aggressive sometimes to new fish.

Here is the Lyretail. I have only had him 2 weeks but he seems to be a very beautiful and agreeable tankmate. Other than the firefish being freaked out by him even though he has not made any moves on him.

Very nice fish.
please do post in the future if this one ends up fighting with the male of your truncate Anthias.
