On friday i added a copperband to my tank and over the last couple of days a relationship seems to be blooming between him and my fox face. They seem to be best of friennds and will not leave each other alone. Has anyone else encountered anything like this between different species of fish?

I added 3 sailfin mollies last week and my 1 green chromis is schooling with them.

I used to have a small blue tang and springeri pseudo follow each other around, eat off the same places in the rock.

Fish now living together! What would the offspring look like? They r both lovely fish anyway and seem to have many similar qualities.

Hmm. Does she actually eat it, or just try it and spit it out? My danios try their own poo, but they've got a habit of tasting everything that's floating, just in case it turns out to be food. The shrimp find this habit distressing.
