                I let mine drop 4 deg... from 80 to 76 .... no problems here.


                Actually got quite a few mouthfuls from it. Counted like 15 females holding the other day.

                    Its pretty cool to see... have one female actually brooding her young (letting them graze and taking them back in) and two others that spit the other day.

                    Some of the joys of not stripping.

                              coast?....well i think some of it may have been aggresion related so i rearranged my rock piles and it seems to be better, b4 i had some hiding by the filter intake but not anymore and like i said b4 everyone else is eating as much food as i will feed them and looking great i just have to control myself on the feeding b/c i love watching them and 'playing' with them. BTW my first female spit her fry 2 days ago.

                                Adding to the colony would help too.
