Nothing survives in a shoal of reds. Maybe a few days, maybe a few months, but eventually, everything will become dinner. A fish can only evade for so long. The reds will show disinterest if they can't catch it right off the bat. The fish will get complacent, then BAM! Dinner has been served.
Haha I had a feeling... My big guy was slow and lazy and liked his shrimp so never tried to eat his buddy. He lived with a Jewel for about a year, and I still have that fish..
So I got them today! I ended up getting 5, $90.. This is literally about a minute after they went in. All 5 are right in this corner, they're awesome though I'm so happy!! I hope they're as healthy as they seem. Right now they're just chillin right by the bottom getting used to the new home.
