    want to put one in my fuge to have a little movement. also, since its smaller than the DT i will actually be able to see him.

    Only concern is if he would eat all my pods... what do you guys and girls think?

    Honestly, Dingo, I had 2 of them in my Pico. Green and Yellow. I thought they would be fun to watch and keep. They were actually quite BORING. They do not move that much, and are difficult to keep eating properly. I lost both. I since have added a small Yellow Damsel. Much better, Hardy, active, and eats like a pig!! JMO!

    In the fuge, you could keep pretty much whatever you want, but most fish will eat pods.:-/

    alright, you got me... ocellaris and percs are the only "damsel" genus i will allow in!
    but they are hardly considered a damsel

    i think its only if they arent happy... i have a mccoskers in my DT and used to have eggcrate but took it off after a couple months of him being happy. They are supposed to be skittish but in reality, he is my bravest fish. i can reach my hand in and touch him... all he does is check out my hand while im doing it :eek:

    I love my clown goby!! He swims around all day and perches every now and then right out in the open. He is very active and very fun! And as cute as can be.
