Show off your favorite pairs or trios!

Wow, cool shot.
The LFS has a pair of small Heniochus varius in QT.
I have a hold put on them, going to pick them up later.

Just can't decide which tank to put them in.

If I could find a trio of Pyramid Butterflies, it would be hard to pass up.

Some pics show Pyramids with a yellow face, instead of the 'dirty' face!... is that a variant, or regional, or growth phase? I'd consider the yellow face but don't find the others attractive !

This is a great pic, love the bubbles coming from the Bandit

lol, wish those were bubbles...just salt...

 

[humaguy]

lol, they're a pair, they just do know it yet...

 

[rishma]

Wow, that will be awesome.

I have really been considering trying to pair some garden variety coral beauty angles. I have always liked them but I have had much better luck with fish that naturally form pairs in the wild. Harem fish like coral beauties may need a lot of space for long term success.

They should have very dark brown faces once settled in.

Easy to do... just buy one larger one and one really small one.

So I have read.....but my tank is only 68 gallons, 30x24x22 and I wonder if they will be happy in those relatively close quarters.

I don't see a problem. But they may be aggressive to other fish...

 

[SDguy]

Or maybe consider smaller species like argi.

 

[rishma]

Argi are mean little bastards in my experience, though I often ponder a trio...

CB tend to be less territorial.

 

[SDguy]

You asked me about pairing... not temperament.

 

[rishma]

Touché.

Nothing like what has already been posted, but these guys keep me entertained. Only camera is my SGS4 but I tried. I also have a single Neon Goby and Swalesi Basslet. Anyone have experience with pairing already established fish of these two types?

Ocellaris Clowns aka devils

Argi Pair doing their little dance. They weave through the rocks too much for a good picture.

I have a relatively new Starry pair, really enjoying them. I like how yours are different shades of color. Mine are nearly identical except for size. Thank you for sharing.

A pair of neon gobies is on my wish list too.

They are so fun to watch. I had the larger one for a year before adding the second one and I'm glad they've settled in well together. They both eat right out of my hands also. Your long nose hawk pair is awesome! Did you get them from DD?

 

[rishma]

Yes, Longnose pair is from dd.
