I've actually never encountered an aggressive Bangaii to tell you the truth...

Maybe jut lucky there though...lol

Heres a little blurb from http://saltwater.tropicalfishandaqua...maCardinal.asp
"The Pajama Cardinalfish is not aggressive toward other fish or corals, so they are great choices for a community tank. They will establish a hierarchy among their own kind but do not display aggressive behaviour."

nice pic there too of the coloration that made me think of them.

That to me though describes the Bangaii as I've experienced them pretty well too, so maybe ask someone who's kept them in a community...
Rene would know fo sho if you're going to JL to assess the assessors.

Thats about what I got mine for...
A fish that you don't see often and captive bred too.

I got it as a total "return my cashmere sweater xmas present from mom and head to JL" kind of impulse buy...

Definitely no yellow tail damsel regrets with this fish though.

I've heard nothing but glowing comments about both the yellow and blue assessors. I find the blue ones a little drab, but the yellow guys are really cool.

you really have to see a blue in person under reef lighting though...

To each their own, but pictures just cant do the fish justice.

I have one of each and I have to say the blue Assessor is my favorite. The body shape is a little different which is kinda weird. But anyhow the blue one is sometimes harder to see on my blue background, still my favorite though. Nice fish, I am pleased with them. Well mannered, don't eat to much, don't bother other residents, don't try to escape and I am happy to say they have not hosted any wild parties while I was out.

True enough. While I've seen a yellow in person, I've never seen a blue (only in pictures). I hadn't thought of that , it's funny that it never crossed my mind when I have a hard enough time getting good pics in my own tank (under 14Ks).

What shade of blue would you describe your assessor as, Leah? I'm sort of curious now 'cause I sort of want a blue fish and would like to avoid any of the blue damsels (which get too big for nano's anyhow).

BlueAbyss,

It is dark, dark blue like a midnight blue (BlueAbyss) I have just renamed this fish after you!
It is blue/black very stunning in person. When I ordered him I had wanted 2 but they were
not available but they could get yellow so I ordered two but sadly one jumped. Then they got blue in so I kept the yellow in Q.T. a little longer and Q.T the blue and added to the tank together. Yup I know you didn't ask

I can try, if not I will get some pictures it will be later though as I stupidly decided I do not like my aquascaping so have to put it all back. They are in a different tank so it is all good.
