That's awesome!! Great Pic!!

Well, right now I think I can only do one and a Pistol. Another will have to wait until I get a bigger tank. ;)

the hi-fins will pair up all on their own, they are 'communal' i just wish i knew if i had a mated pair. I've seen people with 4-5 all living in harmony. I got mine about 3 months apart, and they moved in after about 15 minutes.

My purple fire fish seems to have moved into their burrow too, they don't seem that happy about it though.

I'd almost guarantee it. Buy a 2nd one, I'd bet within 2 days they are all together.

very cool pics
sometimes males can be territorial you can tell the differance between the top fin the pic looks to be a male and female pair females have short hi fins but I have seen males chew off other males top fins and lock at the mouth also in smaller tanks females will group together also males like to keep a little distance form each other I have seen it with most sleeper, watchman and prawn gobys

Did you get those Pistols from Skipton's? I think I saw those either last week or week before hanging out digging a hole together. One is larger then the other, right? Nice grab!! Good pic too!
