Can a Ignitus Anthias Live With a Squareback Anthias?
~ Possible with cautionVerdict from our compatibility engine, assuming a typical 90-gallon reef tank. Score: 52/100.
Why
- Tank heavily stocked (206%) — over recommended load
- Tank poor (90gal for 125.0gal min)
It can work if…
- Upgrade to a larger tank — this species needs more volume
- Tank is nearing capacity — consider removing a resident before adding this one
- Social concern — review this species' social requirements before adding
- Schooling species — add at least 4 more companions for best health
