Royal Gamma & Yellow tail damsel

Gobytron, that's a fair assumption (that the Gramma jumped due to the Damsel), but if you watched the behaviour in the tank for any amount of time you'd see that if anything it was the Damsel that should've jumped. As for physical damage, it was the Damsel that had some rips in its fins for the first week or two, not the Gramma. Now of course every fish is different and maybe I was just lucky but that was my experience.

I think, had you done much due diligence on your tanks inhabitants prior to purchase, you'd still have a gramma.

Well that's your opinion and I respect it. But for the record I am not the type of person to see a pretty fish and buy it, then find out it's completely unsuitable for their tank. I take the selection of livestock very seriously.

That is where I will stop on this as I do not want to tie up someone elses thread trying to prove my own point.
