| years ago i had a blue velvet damsel, i read up on them. all said tough, hardy, able to hold their own,,,etc blah blah...
so i thought it would add some color to my trigger tank. first week,,timid, second week, out and being a cool fish, third week, outcharging triggers for food, week 4 triggers tails frayed nipped and damaged, 5th and last week, triggers timid and hiding and damsel thought he ruled the tank...hhe forgot about me,,,
Evicted!

*Disclaimer*
i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~ Quote:
