    So you did get the evil Chromis out then??? Good...mmm...I missed that post.

    Good to know I should get be able to get 6 fish in my tank...is what I was planning... with possibly a Yellow Watchman Goby & Randall's Pistol Shrimp after the fuge is hooked up.

    chromis is still in there, he has mellowed out a little though, he still is an ass once in a while but not as bad as he used to be

    yea i think 6 is slighty overstocked but i think 6 is ok, i just know i wont be able to squeeze anymore in there :)

    yello watchman's seem really cute :D

    That's good that he's behaving better.

    I'm hoping since 2 will be seahorses and not need a lot of swimming room it'll be OK ...and neither does the goby...so with the 20g fuge slightly overstocking shouldn't be so bad.

    I haven't done a lot of reading on wrasses since they aren't compatible with seahorses...will they both stay female?

    not sure about wrasses and seahorses, but i think one will eventually turn male, so thats why im going to expect some fighting between the two, but if they both stay female, i will be surprised. Not too much info is out there on this particular wrasse, but i dont think too many people have two cause their so hard to get maybe im the first, who knows :D

    Ahhh hope it works out would be cool if you end up with a mated pair...

    Is why I like the Pukani rock, lots of places for fry to hide...it's in my nano and the mollies 3 babies are still alive because that rock has sooooo many places for them to hide. I'm gettting male/female pairs for the tank.

    Can't wait to see your rare wrasses ;D

    Can maybe get a bit more of the florida or pukani and replace some of your boulders LOL (although you do have them looking nice)...not all since that would be too expensive.
