Several Pseudochromidae?
I am leaning towards keeping several Pseudochromidae in my tank. The hardy
and semi-aggressive descriptions of them seem to suggest a slightly-less-poorer-man`s damsel. They seem to be durable,colorful little fish that I WON`T ultimately want to extricate from the aquarium. Here`s the rub---due to territorial issues, most places suggest to add all of them at the same time. Should they be separated , like Bettas , in a quarantine tank? In general, if I get fish advertised as tank-raised, does this significantly reduce the need to quarantine? thanks again

I've always had problems with Pseudochomies when I had more then one. I
always found a floater.. I'm down to just one. I went back to my LFS where I was informed, they dont always get along with each other... "StringerBell" wrote in message ...
