Re: Marine Betta (Comet) Calloplesiops altivelis

they are nocturnal fish. They look really cool in the fish store, but if you notice, they are always in a tank with no hiding places. They have to be out since there is no where else to go. If you put one in your reef tank two things would happen: 1) you would never see it, unless it died. 2)smaller fishies would start to disappear as they hunt the rocks at night. Just my . I once thought the same thing
