Thx for the compliments guys!
As for the foxface pair, not really sure they are an actual pair. 3 landed at a LFS, and I chose the 2 smallest who coincidently were staying together away from the third. Just had a hunch that they would do well together. They were doing pretty well in QT together and then in the DT, they swim together, graze together, feed next to each other, and at night sleep/hide right next to each other. It is also worth mentioning that occasionally there is some fin flaring between them, but nothing major and only lasts a few secs. I tried to introduce one more foxface (Lo uspi), and it did not go well at all, even after several trials of social acclimation.

Things With Stings R Us!
Taenianotus triacanthus (leaf scorpionfishes):
Inimicus didactylus (pop-eyed sea goblins), male displaying
Hippocampus reidi (Brazilian SH), H. erectus (lined SH) hanging out nearby.
We've had a few other M-F pairs/M-F-F trios of fishes, but no photos showing all in the same place.

I didn't either. Than I recall seeing a TOTM with a group of grammas living together. I then researched and researched some more. There is little info about grouping basslets together.
Here is what I did learn though:
The best chance for success in grouping gramma's is to get the group as small as possible with 1 larger dominant.
I ordered 6 tiny gramma's and 1 large. They lived together in QT for about a month and tended to "school" in the QT (20 gallon). I then put all 7 into my 225 gallon and one of them disappeared instantly to never be found. The 6 I have now have been living together in my 225 for about 3 months. They do not school except to gather loosely around dusk/dawn and there is very little aggression. On very seldom occasions the largest gramma will chase a smaller one back into its dart hole but this rarely happens, maybe once a week that I can see. IIRC the larger one is a male and they are all born female.
I have 2 islands in my tank and 3 stay on one island and the other 3 on the other, except when the male ventures over to the other island to check up on his girls :inlove:
