    Thanks! There's 8 now. I want 5 and overstocked them in anticipation of a few deaths but they all seem to get along well and are healthy.

    That's great, I had 7 in my 28 bow for many months after the usually deaths, until I lost one that was real shy and did not get enough to eat. I fed them twice a day. The fish developed a pecking order and each fish was sized large to small based on the order. I did not have a lot of flow in the tank so the fish would get their exercise swimming in the flow from my circulation pump in formation. One would take the lead and the rest would fall in line. The lead would fall back to the end after a bit and they would rotate several times before deciding to look for food.

    Haha! :) After reading this ^^ I've been sitting here watching them cruise the current and they are doing the exact same thing! The dominants are in the front of the pack and as they slide back the little guys move up to the front. When the current switches they do an about face and repeat in the other direction. LOL

    The other day I got an order from ReefCleaners.org | Clean Up Crews and Macro Algae - Home and in that order was a Florida Fighting Conch. I'd never seen a live one and was totally fascinated watching it lift itself and fall forward to move and use it's trunk like mouth to eat. The eye stalks are cool as hell too! My son really digs it and has named him Gary, after SpongeBobs pet snail...
