THEY"RE ALIVE!

I put my first fishes in the tank yesterday.... It's now almost 15 hours and they're still happily swimming around...

one quick question though. why does it seems like one of the demsel is picking on the other? I got 4 in a 50g now

Because they are mean!! I had 3 in my tank, one tortured the other to death. Then he met his fate the next day. We have one left. I'm not sure if he was the original culprit of the attacks, or if he was keeping out of it. Regardess, I was going to keep him in but after reading the boards and watching the demise of the other two, I'm gonna send him packing. I don't want to risk losing the good fish.

Good luck with the damsels. From what I know, there are a couple of things that you can do. One, try to get some non-aggressive damsels, I've found a couple. . .but they seem to be few and far between. I had one in particular, a blue damsel that I named Dante that was killing all of my fish. I wanted to keep him because he was a larger damsel and very bright blue, but he was killing everything I put in the thank, so I returned him to the pet store. Didn't have any problems until then.

It may be that you just have one that's being a monster. . .if you can, see if you can tank him back to the store as most LFS will give you credit with returned damsels, then head back later and pick up another one.
