My flame has been cool with other fish except the kupang damsel. He's even been cool with corals so far. My clowns are special forces as they bite me sneak attack everytime I stick my hand in there to clean stuff up.

yup mine too.....the little clown has gotten a bit larger and thus bolder....he will rip the food out of the females mouth.....the royal grama gets what it can lol

I got two of green mandarin in my tank now. And love them also they will eat pellets right off the bat. No training need.

how are they when feeding.....much competing with other fish?

They sit back and dart out when food comes by them. Or hangs around front of the tank. There still every small. Maybe 1.5-2" now. I got them when they where under an inch. Plus I got 2 piggie tangs that's over 6". They eat the food before anyone can even smell it. Lol with those tang are feeding most of the fish stay away. There not mean there just crazy and dart from one side of the tank to the other.
