I have had 6 for about 2 years. They started in my 90 and were transferred to the 180. Very hardy fish.

I guess your LFS meant the fishes transited in Singapore. I am staying in Singapore and there isn't any reef here.

Btw, we don't fancy the livestocks that are hailed around here, they seemed to considered inferior than those coming from the Caribbean, Red Sea, Hawaii or Maldives. For example the cleaner shrimp that is hailed from Maldives cost 50% more than the same looking shrimp from Indonesia, the LFS said they are supposed to be hardier. I guess the grass on the other side is always greener.

I have 5 of them in a 125; been there for over a year. Though they haven't killed each other, they certainly have a pecking order; the largest is the bully and the smallest takes most of the punishment; not a lot but is definitely pushed around from time to time. I keep them well fed so they don't kill over a short food supply which might be why the little guy is still happy as can be.
