    I guess the word to the wise is not to have shrimp around that can fit in the mouth of these fish. I learn something every day! :cheesy:

    LOL I don't want to be the voice of doom ! But I have head it said so many times about how My Banggai or Pajama Cardinals have never harmed anything , it may last for a yr or more . But at some point in time instincts and nature will kick in and you will notice the shrimps are gone !

    6 lines are cool but are one of the meanest wrasses. Once he claims that tank you may have issues trying to add new fish. Chromis are cool but they have this tendency to kill each other. The only people i see that have long term success keeping more than one chromis alive are those people with very large tanks keeping A LARGE school of chromis. If it were me id look at a small fairy wrasse like a McCoskers.

    Look into a Royal Gramma as well, very pretty and peaceful fish as long as it has a hole to sleep in.

    Gotta agree with wareagle though, I absolutely LOVE my lawnmower blenny. He's so fun to watch and he chomps on the algae as long as I don't feed him spinach, I think he likes the spinach better.
