    ALWAYS ALWAYS read before you buy!!!

    Sorry to say - you'll probably be dissapointed in the near term with these fish.

    They stop schooling as they get larger, the pretty white stripe goes away, and you DO KNOW they are venomous, yes? They will become fairly desctructive in a reef tank - consuming inverts, smaller fish and toppling rock work...

    Cute as little guys all nestled in a ball/shoal, but a really poor long-term proposition for all but the largest non-reef type tanks....:(

    Oh - and no offense, but I'd steer clear of Peteducation.com - dated and inaccurate at times.

    thanks, but not real good for these guys. they'd swim right thru the egg crate holes

    theres another one where you cut off the top portion of a 2 litre bottle and invert it that works really well
