The super aggressive one was in a 30 gallon and was already established, the others were in larger tanks and added after other fishes. I like them though, they're pretty fish (and the size is perfect).
Good to know. I will have to keep that in mind. I have a feeling in my tank it could be a little aggressive because its relatively small and not a lot of LR.

The other option is to just leave the tank as is because Im not kidding, I have yet to see any aggression what so ever other than the jawfish trying to eat fish that come near his cave errrrrr...or maybe he is just defending it

When I was asking about adding 4 grammas to the same tank, people treated me like an idiot.
I got so turned around with misinformation; like being told that grammas are hermaphroditic for example when thats simply not the case...

At least with a smaller tank, if a new addition does go aggressive it's a lot easier to remove the aggressor than in a larger tank full of LR.

IMO though, add a gramma or an assessor and you will still have 0 aggression.

Always seems to be another tough decision around the corner in this hobby.

I think the regular price for that fish is about $110.

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.

That was actually an earlier thought as well. I was thinking Bangaii but they can get aggressive I guess. Are Pyjama's better?

I am going to go see the assessors today I think
