You had the fathead, ya? My understanding is that they are a deepwater species that like to hang out at the bottom or in caves. The Sunsets I am referring to are similar in behavior to the Bartletts but a little more timid.

You had one of each species? They got along alright?
Oops... my bad. Turns out I had the SunBURST/Fathead's name wrong the whole time. I thought it was a Sunset. Oops.

I knew what you meant by 'teaching'... since I had the wrong fish though, their interactions will likely be totally different.

Yes, I had 1 fathead, and 1 Bartlett's and aside from the Fathead deciding that he liked the Bartletts side of the tank, and the Bartletts relocation... no problems.
