I have 2 female Lyretail Anthias and a mail Lyretail Anthias.

I originally wanted only 3 females because that,

1. I heard most male would be too aggresive towards other Anthias and could kill them,
2. I wanted to see one of the females turn into a male,
3. which would result in less aggresive male, female combo because they lived all together before sex change.

Well my lfs only had 2 females and 1 male so they are living in my tank.

It's like two females hang out more often and one male doesn't seem to care much about other anthias and stay all by himself other than occasional chasing but not serious.

They are all out in front and get along with other fish well.
I guess it depends on the individual and would be better if introduced together.

Since the females were introduced first, I don't think it should cause too much problem with the male.

Just my 2 cents.
