    fish that swim in groups?

    You can keep them singly but their behavior is unprecictable. Not like they might snap like a trigger, but I couldn't tell you how any particular one might act. One of my friends had 9 of them and they looked like a tumbleweed.

    fish that swim in groups?

    No, best in groups over 3. Coral Cats are fun to buy because they get stuck in the net and the LFS guy doesn't know they sting. Then when he gets nailed by one you say " they sting?! I don't want them anymore". Not that I would actually do that

    fish that swim in groups?

    Anthias school as well. At your LFS they put a lot of the same fish in one tank so they might appear to school also.

    Can fish mourn?

    IMO yes they do. Marine animals have complicated social structures. Several species mate for life when up here it's quite rare. It isnt much of a stretch of imagination that they may develop friendships as well. Especially in a alien environment as like communal captivity.

    Too much light?

    I'd watch out for D.E.A. helicopters directing swat teams to your house.

    Anthias owners..

    Dont have one now but have even kept 3, 1 male 2 female. I give a little when I get up, a little when I get home, a little an hour before lights out. No more than they can finish in 2-3 minutes.

    free 55 tomorow final list

    I'm not a member of the Tang Police, Sailfins get huge. While on the subject why does this site list different tank sizes for different selling sizes of the same fish. A small hippo and a show Hippo Tang are the same fish. Why does one have a tank minimum of 40 and the other 140?

    Easiest fishes

    For Raccoon minimum tank some sources say 75, others 55. I know many people who have gotten them at under 4" and they have lived happilly in 55s for many years. He would have to be your biggest fish in the 55.

    Easiest fishes

    I agree that Firefish are easy too, but not if you have "tank tappers" in your home, as in the species "rugratus smackthetankalotus".
