He's not too bad - mostly just a little chasing, but at feeding time, he does his best to ensure that the Foxface doesn't get supper. I suspect that one of them is going to have to go

The Sohal is a beautiful fish, but don't bank on a leopard changing his spots...

Good point, you never know if they'll contine to be peacefull or if they'll change as time passes. My Sohal is 8" and my Salfin is 10". Right now my Salfin is "The boss" and keeps everyone else in line. No one challenges him, it's like they all realize he's the biggest and they all respect him. We'll see if time changes things or not, but hopefully they will continue to get along for years to come.

So I picked up a 4 inch Sohal a few days ago. Everything is going well. He's been chased a bit my my Foxface and Regal tang but for the most part everyone is getting along. Here's hoping he remains peaceful. He was out and about the day after going into the tank (which was right after lights out on Tuesday). He eating and is looking good .

The good ol QT debate again, each has it's up and downs. For the most part I've stopped using QT tanks and my last 5 fish adapted well with no problems. I do have a QT tank going right now though, but only because I picked up a Achilles and wanted to make sure that it was treated and fattened up before putting it in my Display tank.
