So I'm getting ready to finish my upgrade here in the next few weeks and I have a few fish I feel bad for but wouldn't mind others opinions on this. I have a massive beautiful firefish I picked up but he's so shy he never comes out. The thing is healthy as a horse but everything makes him skiddish and I was going to return him to the lfs but I really like the guy However the inherent stress of chilling under my rocks all day has to take a toll on him right? He eats and comes out for a few minutes at a time but I can't imagine hes very happy and I will be adding several flasher wrasse and anthias that may further annoy him. Should I just return him....? second and third fish return one seems inevitable I have an algae blenny he was a total dbag until I added a big old diamond goby then he calmed his butt down but do I give him a second chance as his utility won't be needed with my new kole tang but man this guy eats alot its crazy. Third return I bought this midget yellow watchmen he actually gets along great with the diamond goby and his personality is fine although he flares up and gets irritated every once in a while with other fish. He doesn't do very much but hangout around the sand he doesn't move very much could just be his personality should I swap him out or let him transfer over?

return 1. super skiddish firefish hides all day don't want to expose new tank to risk of disease from firefish getting sick
2.algae blenny history of being a dousche changed when I added a bigger fish
3. baby yellow watchmen just not very happy
