So, that was short lived!! :(

Had a blue devil damsel with a royal dottyback, clown, trimma and talbot's damsel. The third day of having the blue devil he starting attacking EVERYBODY!! Even the royal dottyback was cowering in a hole (the blue damsel was trying to kill him)... I figured it was only a matter of time before he killed the dottyback and went after everyone else. So I tore my rockwork appart and caught the blue damsel, and figured while I was in there to take out the dottyback. I traded the two fish into my LFS and picked up a 2" male red fin anthia 50% off. Absolutely beautiful fish! Just gotta get him eating now. Very healthy and was in the LFS for about 3 weeks so I knew he was healthy and eating. So, I snagged him before he was gone. I think he was a good find! They are hard to find around here and they are expensive for such a small fish. He is out in the open all the time which is great! I have always had bad choices in fish for some reason lol... Hence mixing a blue devil damsel and a royal dottyback (STUPID!!)... There were a few ppl who told me that the aggressive mix I had would not work... YOU WERE RIGHT!! Lol. Now all I have is my clown, my talbots damsel, trimma and anthia.. Everything is working out so far.. But I also said that before lol. Well, here's to hoping. I just have such back luck with fish!!

 

that sux. :/

 

Glad you re-homed them

 

Yea, I thought about what you said and this morning when I saw the blue devil trying to get into the rock at the dottyback and he was all tore up and saw a good nip out of the talbots damsel fins (love that fish) that was the last straw lol. The lights in the tank have been out for about an hour now and everything seems much more piecful than it was last night

 

I was kind of surprised when I read your other thread, and everything seemed fine. The Pseudanthias also may not have been the best purchase for a small tank. Here is a good article about them: Anthias Imposters! - The Genus Pseudanthias, Part I by Henry C. Schultz III - Reefkeeping.com

It can be tough with the limitations of a small tank.

 

Yup, and everything seemed fine until just overnight and then BAM.. The blue devil went...well... Evil! Lol. It happened so fast! And I am never getting another dottyback ever again! Stupid fish! Lol
