Hello, I looked at a large very colorful square back anthias ,that's what the guy told me it was. I suspect it has several differing names. It hadn't been in the shop long so I didn't buy ,looked healthy .
Anyway can I keep this one fish or does it require some girlfriends? I haven't had luck keeping a group in the past. Seems one always falls out early then slowly one by one. I think it's when buying a group all at once You don't know which ones are competing for the dominant place. If I had a known male then purchased a group of smaller ones The pecking order would be easily resolved. What are Your thoughts?
While I'm talking about fishes, I see my Lawn Mower blenny feeding on the meaty stuff I feed the other neighbors. I thought he might be real hungry but nope he's got a nice fat belly and trust me, I have plenty of algae for it to eat.
Also I asked the guy at my LFs if he could get me a Clown goby . He tells me they are terrible shippers & won't live long without Acropora corals . Now Iv'e seen plenty of these cool little fish in lot's of tanks. I question this . How about You?
