Do you know how to sex them? I used to have a pair then introduced two more, but they fought so much that they killed one. Then lost the rest to a hurricane.
I've found they are easy to keep as long as you have a tank well stocked with copepods and no competition.

I have no idea how to sex them. They are both alive and doing well. They are very active in the tank, alway looking for something to eat. Just added a 4 line wrasse to the same tank. the 4 line hides all day.

Are they eating prepared foods now? If that is the case, how often do you feed them?

i have not seen them eat frozen foods, I offer mysis, cyclopeez, and artic pods. I have seen them hit something in the water once in a while when i pour it in but nothing i am positive about. They get all excited when i pour it in but down seem them chase anything down.
