Hi..i have 2 calvus in with some multi's who are pretty territorial/aggressive towards any fish swimming around their end of the tank..and i noticed my calvus are looking a bit pale,is this stress? also they are pretty new to the tank in there about 5 days. im just wondering if calvus will mix with the multies,there is also some occies,julies, in there...will they be ok as a community?

Til they get bigger than the shellies will be on the menu. but as for smaller Calvus they really are push overs and will stress real easy.. Multis are little terrors on fins, little fish but big attitude..

The washed out look is stress and with stress comes disease so be careful you may have to place them in another tank til they have some size to them.. But i have Calvus, lelupi's, Mustax, Julido's and Cylindricus in mine and for the most part all are ok.. They have enough room to get away..

Be gran..
