[dleecool]

Sell me ur flame or multi color!!

[Earth]

if your multi color is eating then it should b ok. give them a few more days to friend each other

i got quite a number of dwarf angels. the last time when i added them 1 by 1 i usually acclimatise the new resident in a bettabox until it feeds well before releasing it.

[Javier]

but do they fight? when u intro new dwarf?

[Earth]

of course when u release the new resident, the old ones will chase after it. thats y i make sure that the new resident is feeding and more stable before releasing it from the beta box

[Javier]

haha thanks bro... we are doing well now...

Hi Earth,

May I know how big is your betta box? I'm worry we might stress the fish further by isolating it in the small betta box.

Hi Earth,

My Betta box is those 1ft L by approx one-third ft B type, can get from any LFS. But only good enough for dwarf angels. I guess you have to observe their behaviour in the box frequently. If they look uncomfortable, then chances are you have to transfer them in a bigger box or basket. The longest I ever kept a fish in a basket is a bellous angel for about 4 weeks before releasing it. Its still going strong in my tank now.

Bro rockfish

The golden angel from another reefer that's why. If I can keep 1 alive direct from LFS, then I'll call myself pro!

Bro earth,

the yellow tang I got from you is now the big boss in my tank now. That's why need to find out how to add new fish without bully by this big yellow

[amboi36]

I also have the same problem when I introduce purple tank and majestic, everyday '"play'' untill I fell tired wacthing them. It takes me few days before they have some peace.

Now trying to add blue face......................any comment.?

[angelfly]

Good to have the new comer bigger in size. Mine emperor when added to the tank with the blue face was slightly bigger, but both is getting along fine.

[amboi36]

thks..........go and get the blue face now.

[chtan23]

but problem is cannot keep getting bigger and bigger fish to add...

Hi, good to hear that the YT is doing so well with u!

What I normally do other than quarantine to stablised the fish is to add at least 2 fishes at 1 go. This is basically to distract the aggressive fish. Also I add fishes when all of them are asleep in darkness. Of course, new bigger fishes will be better but this is not always possible in view of size of tank.

After all the above, i still think luck plays a part too
