Hey Rika and Spidey I am picking up one tomorrow. Can you tell me a little about yours, what they eat, how big are they, do they hide a lot or do you see them often? I have a Foxface, 2 Black Ocellaris, and a Mystery Wrasse. The Tail Spot will be my last addition. The Wrasse has only been in my tank since Sunday.
so far so good. eats anything so i alternate cyclops/mysis shrimp and spirulina flakes as i've read they do need some herbivore staples. also pecks away at the pods and algae on my tank glass. very cool fish. funny. inquisitive. unique.
right now, only about inch or so long. read it can get to 2.5 inches.
one problem i'm watching for is longevity. read on posts it can be tough to hang past 5-6 months. not sure why unless its not getting the right diet. so we'll see but as stated, so far it looks promising (crossing fingers)
in the beginning, he shyly hung out under the surface skimmer on the nano. then became more acclimated and shot out grabbing grub floating by. my skunk cleaner shrimp also has a liking for the same spot which became a nice choice since it forced the tsb to me more adventurous. now he swims and bobs around the tank landing on favorite rock ledges.
wish i had more experiences to tell you how the tsb would interract with your other livestock. that's why i'm torn whether to keep him as a single fish or get a small buddy...i am intrigued by the yashi but wondering about the pistol...
