3 new additions:

- A pair of 4-stripe damsels (later noticed one is a 3-stripe lol)
- Matted filefish

All 3 may end up being mistakes but I love'em for now!

In other news I finally have my female squarespot eating (mysis but hey it's a start) and my hair algae is slowly diminishing on my new rocks.

The file fish is the cat's pajamas, but me thinks the damsels won't look so cute to you in a few weeks time.

You give it weeks? I'd give it 5 days...striped damsels are, IMO, the worst ever fish. I had one once, I built a harpoon and tried to stab it to get it out of my tank. I ended up draining the tank to get it.

+1 my first fish was a domino damsel, beautiful little fish but mean a hell. I had to tear my little nano apart to swap him for our clown cause he killed my pep shrimp. I watched it happen and immediately grabbed the net. I was too late though lol. in a 400+ gallon tank i dont think that will be the issue though

Brett, loved the video. How is your tank looking soooo good already? I'm starting to feel anxious about my upcoming tank and being able to "keep up with the Jones's" as they say.

They are a cool looking fish but very mean & very fast.
I had a 4 stripe damsel back in the day, never been so happy to see a fish eventually die. It got to be about 2.5 inches around and bit me every time I put my hand within 18 inches of his hang out.
That said, fish are hit & miss so maybe yours will be model citizens.

I have two File Fish, both don't eat aptaisia. To be fair one of them has only been in the tank over the weekend.

I'm thinking about throwing some water and aptasia covered rock in a 20 gallon to coax them to eat then move them back to the display.
