Perfect fish. Particularly for a small tank. I have a pair in my 90 and they tend to get lost.
Great pic. You caught it perfectly.

Thanks Reef, I do have a glass canopy over the tank. I made sure I had one before I got the fish.

It hides somewhat but does come out for a good while after I feed the tank. It will scoot quickly back into it's hole if I move quickly but it doesn't seem to be excessively shy. It will come up to the glass to check me out when I'm there.

A very nice fish. I actually have two of them in the tank. The other is a bit smaller and it tends to hide more.

They seem to be getting along nicely in there....I "Think" that the larger one is a female based on the roundish belly. I'm hoping the smaller one is male.

Wow - really beautiful fish, looks like they have pink lipstick on. Which of course for summer is the rage!

Thanks for sharing, good camera!
