Very true to everything said.
I know all about the filefish and their reputation ,I bought her knowing the risks ,and so far I have not come to regret it.
The Lyretails suprised me, I only found out that they are supposed to be picky fish a few days ago. The male is doing perfect ,feeding on NLS and frozen ,and the female takes frozen ,so I guess I lucked out.
Heh ,I few years ago I had a sunburst anthias in my really getto 10 gallon ,she did really good (about a year) until her mouth got busted up and she stopped eating
Perhaps I have an anthias green thumb
