I have a spawning pair of Maroons at home in a cluster of GBTAs. I realize they have a bad rep for aggression, but my pair is actually quite tolerant of my hand/arm in the tank. They also get along fine with their cohabitants, a Yellow Tang, Singapore Angelfish, Mandarin Dragonet & Yellowtail Damsel. There's little to no conflict there either. The Damsel stays out of everyone's way since he's still small & the last fish I added. Even when there's a clutch of eggs, the female Maroon is ok with me messing around in the display as long as I don't venture too close. The female Maroon was one of the first fish I purchased as a juvenile & can't imagine my system without her. Went through the ordeal of buying a second Maroon & the harrowing pairing procedure.
