    Then I ask myself why it was on the list. I guess it goes first.

    that was just a list of all the fish that will be in the tank, the blenny wouldnt be in the tank yet but he didnt like my jawfish in my 29 so i took him out early.

    Lol corailline.

    You might want to rethink the dottyback.. I had a buddy with one, and he ended up having to get rid of it. It was freakin relentless.. Constantly trying to peck at other fish. Definitelyyy put him in last if you end up getting one.

    not all dottys are like that. my LFS had some CB orchids which would never come out and were more skittish than any other fish i've ever seen ...
