What are your thoughts on a half black in substitution for the Atlantic

I had three at one time, Flame / Fisheri and a third one where the name escapes me at the moment. I never had any trouble.

Well its been 24 hours since they all went in.

I substituted the Atlantic for a Half Black and pretty happy with everyone so far. The Flame, as expected, chased a couple but with the way the rock is set up they all have 5 or 6 directions to go. Its funny to watch him come out on different sides of the tank after a chase looking pretty confused. However all that only lasted the first few hours. The color in the tank is amazing. Thanks for everyones help.

keep watching for over couple days. I think you should be fine with lots of cave. I love to watch all mine. I would be devastated if any of them died.

Its been a week and they are still doing great. I have the opportunity to watch my tank at least 8 waking hours a day and no aggression. Im gonna say adding them all at once is the way to go. No one has picked or started to defend a territory so what I am left with is 4 awesome fish weaving in and out of the whole tank.

I think it still too soon to tell but hopefully everything stay the same as it now. Fish does change their behaviors over time.
