I have heard the same Naesco, that they will possibly drop one by one.... but others say they have had large groups of them long term and never had any issue keeping them. 6 of one, half a dozen of another. I spent an hour talking it out with the staff at AI and took the plunge. I have wanted a schooling fish for some time, and these ones are amazingly colored.
I am hoping they do well. AI had a great boxing day sale... and combined with my Christmas gift certificate for them... they were a great deal. They came from the Maldives. Seriously Wes? Every few days? Perhaps your tank is large enough to provide them enough natural prey? As of now... all three are eating well and joining the frenzy when I add mysis to the tank. They are all exhibiting Ich, as Jason mentioned of his, but are not visiting my cleaner shrimp that I have noticed. I am feeding garlic soaked food so hopefully this will help. The females are definitely more curious about the tank and are checking out most corners. They stick together for the most part but the male does his own thing.... always swimming near the front, hanging out with my tang.

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.

Here are a few links for ich remedies:

I started out with 4 females and 1 male. That was 3 years ago and all that is left is the male. He eats mysis and pellets 2-3 times daily. I have a refugium as well but i'm not too sure if there is anything from it that he is eating but he's fat.
