Quick question on compatability...

[fishkiller]

In a 110, I have:
1 Niger Trigger (4 in)
1 Picasso Trigger (3 in)
1 Blue/Yellow Rabbit (5 in)
1 Neon Pseudochromis (3 in)
1 Lane Snapper (3 in) ----Going to a different tank- too mean

l____ spelling?
I have about 150 lbs of lr and ideal water conditions, besides NO-3 being a liiiiittle high every now and then, mostly due to my laziness. I just added the huma huma (picasso) a few nights ago, and the niger is chasing him a bit. Ok, now I am mainly a reef man, so I need a little info here. I appreciate it.

The fishes already in the tank are showing the "new jack" their dominance. Every one is going to establish their pecking order. For the first few days, this can be expected with triggers. Next time, feed all your fish first before introducing the new one and move your LR around in order to confuse them. This should cut down on the harassement.

Yeah, I tried the lr trick. Didn't think of the feeding though. Good idea. I know there has to be some establishment of a pecking order w/ any new guy in the tank, but I always get extra cautious w/ new fish. Thanx!
