    Found my Banggai Cardinal - DOA today in NanoCube :(

    Hermits were having a big lunch.

    Can only attribute loss due to insufficent space for him in 12 gallon along with the two clowns. :-/ --- The two cleaner shrimp also seemed to give this quite shy fish a hard time.

    Moral...not a good fish for a Nano with any other kind of active species.

    Best way to get over "fish loss blues"....

    Just returned from LFS and a blue neon goby (cleaner) followed me home. ;)

    Should do well in Nano....and after couple of months may move him over to main tank.

    Neat little inexpensive fish... (I feel sooo much better...)

    Has already made a big hit with family!!! --- Fun little guy to watch...;D
