    Yes it is! I may need to pick one up. I use my acclimate box right now, but this would serve the purpose much better given its larger size and openings for water movement.

    No worries there; normal and to be expected. He looks good btw.

    Shouldn't be any trouble there; the laboutei would be the only one to keep an eye on. If you can add them first, great; else the acclimation box method is fine. Either way, you'll want to use it on whomever you add later, unless we're talking about a couple days apart here.

    Unless something has changed, the statement below is correct. This company has been out of business for a couple years now, although it is where I obtained my acclimation box from years ago.

    You guys, the Elite Aquatics box is one I recommend in the OP.

    Thanks! I thought so too :)


    Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the solid advice, as always!

    He sure brought some color and life to my tank. My Banggai Cardinalfish and 2 Clownfish have been friendly and very curious towards him so far.
