frindly f8s

Post by sunburst »

well after months watching my 6 i have to say they are soft as kittens
they all shoal together and roam the tank in little groups
infact id say the b/b gobies were more vicious

any 1 else found this ?

im also contemplating getting some more tank mates as the whole tank seems to get along fine

My f8 is friendly too, he lives with mollies and their babies!! He doesn't recognize his tankmates as food.

I think even small, very friendly F8's would be quite willing to help with the fry. Just about all fish love fry.
