A few more additions to the family

today we got a tomato clown...his name is "shmemo" cause he looks like nemo but he isnt...Beth named him...the tank was really a presant for her birthday...so she gets first dibs on names....lolol

and we got a hardwick ( sp ) wrasse that hasnt named himself yet.....

so we have those two new ones and two yellow fin damsels ( george and HAL which stands for hides a lot) george has been nipping HAL so hopefully with the new tank mates....he chills a bit

LFS man said that unfortunately its very common for fish to nip each other

hopefully they all play nice.....I didnt pick them...they were recommended by the LFS dude

still working on getting some good pics

yeah I was going to just add like 3 more yellowfin damsels so we had a total of 5.....
but he ( LFS dude ) asked me did it seem like the one damsel was going for the other aggressively ...and to my knowledge he is...so maybe he made the new suggestions of the tomato clown and the wrasses thinking there was only going to be one damsel sometime soon? Like George was going to nip HAL to death ( meany )

I do this guy and he has been helping us since the start of the tank.....
so I am hoping things will be ok....

I would have looked other fish up in preparation but like I said...I was just going to get more damsels when I went...didnt expect to walk out with new kinds....I mean Im cool with that and thats why I just trusted he would steer me in the right direction

do you think the damsel who is already nipping is going to finish off the damsel...mean ol fish
why cant they all just get a long

yup, the one who is already showing his dominance will eventually nip the other one one too many times and, well you know the rest. If he's really beat up the FS prob won't take him back. If that's the case and there is noone you know who will take him then just be sure to get the little guy out once he is finished off to prevent a mini cycle. How much LR you have?
