These are being fragged^^^^
 
I got questions actually. How are the 2 firefish and royal grammas getting along? I've always wanted to add another firefish to my tank, but have always heard they will fight unless they are a mated pair.
 
Both the firefish and the gramma's are mated pairs, they never fight. I've been asked this question lots of times, and so far they haven't had a fight, wether it be gramma vs . gramma, firefish vs. firefish, or gramma vs. firefish. So i guess they would have to be mated pairs

whats everyone think? is my tank getting better or worse ?

also what does everyone think of the new scape. which do u prefer this one or the previous one
 
Looks good. It's cool that you're only about 2 or 3 weeks older than me; my birthday is the 27th of december 93. Does the cleaner wrasse accept food?
 
he does more than accept food, he flipping eats like a mad man, everything that edible goes in his mouth. Cleaning other fish, nori, brine shrimp, coral frenzy, flakes.
