I had a bicolour and had to trade it in because it was a hellion and ruled my tank. It's too bad because they are a really colourful small fish. I guess that is why they are reasonably priced due to their aggressive behaviour. I now have a Springeri and a Sunrise that seem to be quite timid and are actually best buddies.

May as well get a damsel. Lol.


If it's the color you like splurge on a gramma instead.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I really like mine! It's pretty well behaved. My Flame Angel seems to keep it in line. The Dottyback was the last fish I put in as well though.
