I am thinking of adding 6 dispar anthias into my tank but any idea how many male and female to add? As I heard only one male is allowed?

6 anthias is a lot of fish to add at one time to any system. I have heard 1 male to 2-4 females depending on the size of the system.

Please update the "my info" section of your profile so we know a bit more about your system and inhabitants. That way you will not have to describe it every time.

Not sure he has much choice if you want a school of fish but when was the last time you added fish. If it was last week, you might want to hold off.
