Lol....Yeah, they were in tanks all by themselves so i looked for any signs of Ich or any other diseases....kinda like a in store quarantine.... I already acclimated them to my display tank.... Needless to say they really don't seem to like each other... But soon as they realize that the tank is a bit bigger than just one little corner they'll be just fine..... they are active and a lot more colorful than they were at the LFS... I'm hoping they will learn to co-exist.

They are some neat fish, beautiful features and coloration....But they do exhibit a lot of "damsel-like" behaviors though.... which sucks because well.....I'm personally not a big fan of damsel fish..

They should be fine in a 180. Like you said though, they have to realize there is more to the tank than one corner.


They can be onery little boogers. My flame angel used to spar with my yellow tang regularly (they were the same size), but now that the tang is gone, he no longer has his sparring partner. Instead, he gets chased by the Purple Firefish! Talk about a fish out of character.



P.S. don't for get the pics. ;)

I'll post pics once they come out a bit more... They are diggin' the new aquascaping.... Lots of cool little caves and tunnels.... Hopefully they come out real soon. Maybe my halides are a bit too bright for them? We'll see.
