I bought 8... 1 carpet surfed shortly after .. and the 7 have been happily co-habitating in one large rock ( no clue on how they al fit in such a little hole) for months now. Time will tell I guess. If they start to bicker.. most of them will go looking for new homes.

Hopefully It will work out for you.
If i recall correctly a male will take more then one mate.
So maybe you'll have 6 female's and one very tierd and happy male LOL.
You are right though you can never tell.
heres my mated pair that's not supposed to be done.

I should say though that the purple killed its first prespective mate in under 24hrs.

Im with you on this one Albert!!
Time to start spot feeding it guppies.. :razz:

Thats so cool!!! :eek:

Wow! Sad for the firefish but pretty cool for the paly. SW animals are so strange!!! I hope the paly's dont get too hungry!

Don't turn your back when you've got your hand in your tank or you may end up with a stump! That is something else, I thought my old green brittle star eating damsels for breakfast was something to see but this... wow
