7 dispar females and 1 Bimac male?

[Krad]

Hi R2R,

Trying to get a order going for 7 dispar female anthias, was curious if buying one male bimac anthias would pose any issues? My LFS has a great looking male and I am tempted to buy it.

My tank is 200 gallons with plenty of rock work and a ok pod population but I supplement with baby brine shrimp.

Thanks!

Ill bump and offer my theory as I do not know.

They will be able to tell difference between the two and likely one dispar will transition to male and then those two could potentially fight however 200 gallons may be the saving grace
