For this reason, specimens from these locales are hardier, and it is advisable to purchase specimens from these locales. |
:*These fish prefer to be kept in pairs or trios (see behaviour); for this reason, it is advisable to keep them this way instead of a solitary specimen. In the wild, these fish often form temporary groups, so that they can, as a group, raid the territories of fish like [[:Category: Damselfish|damselfish]], and take all the food from there. | :*These fish prefer to be kept in pairs or trios (see behaviour); for this reason, it is advisable to keep them this way instead of a solitary specimen.
