    Today I paid a visit to the lfs and left with a black-tailed humbug. He seemed quite stressed when i first put him into the tank, The clowns got a slight bit aggressive with him, which seems odd as its normally the opposite way around. The clowns have backed off now and the humbug seems to like swimming through the rocks. He dosnt bond at all with the clowns and he seems like a nice new addition to the tank. Ill update later maybe with some pics :D

    Should I add a slight bit of stress coat to the tank ? or would this make no diffrence what so ever ?

    Don't use the stress coat now. Always turn your lights out when adding fish from the moment you float the bag until at least an hour if not the rest of the day to facilitate acclimation.

    Yeah, I usually leave the light off all day when I add a new fish :)
