I plan on getting a few of these for the 60 gallon cube.

Mitch I had 5 in my 150 gal a while back and they hunted each other down til there was 1 left.

Yes I have been doing some research and a few people have pointed out that they aren't a good choice for a 60. So I'll leave them be.

They are very nice, but i will agree to the hunting. generally if you get a group one will become the male and the rest female. Males are abusive and pick on the females, if you have a few females the beatings are spread out, so it tends to be more balanced. I had a link on this, i'll have to find it. Great fish though, the males look incredible. I had one that never showed the red, i guess if there's just one they can stay female?

I bought 1 M, and 4 F... I now have 1 male left, and he's a grouchy old fart. I blame him for every recent dead fish, as well as a few others that do nothing but hide. I'll soon be trying to catch and get rid if him.
