    I loaded the tank with tiggerpods and ocean pods. I put the bottle of 2,000 in it when it was dark and the fish were calm. I was told that the tiggerpods would be sufficient but i got the ocean pods to make sure that the reproduction times were not just once but at least twice in a reproducing season.
    He seems happy and is always going around eating the pods on the rocks.
    I have quite a bit of live rock, caves, tunnels and such for the psychadelic to cruise around in. I only planned on adding the six line wrasse and that would be it for fish....that is until my next tank is ready for inhabitants =)

    thanks for the clarification on his name.

    Don't feel bad I did almost the same thing. I thought mine jumped out and one of my cats ate him so I lifted all the rock out of the tank, and just as i lifted the last piece of rock mine jumped 5 feet to his death....

    I wouldn't go with a six-line wrasse. They will compete for the copepods you stocked for the dragonette.
