there's a very noticeable tail. I'll try to get a side pic, so you can see it too.

Hermits must they be,so  The tail is in the horizontal plane in the pic,same as the eyes.and the pointed rostrum (nose) is unfishy.A closer look will help.

you know there is one other thing it might be. I thought I had two males, but there's a couple of Harlequin shrimp in there. I need an expert to chime in! If it's harlequins I'm gonna bust! I doubt it is, but....

I talked with an expert in Harlequins. Definately not them. Also, I emailed the only person I've bought anything from in a couple of years. They used to have mysis and peppermint shrimp in the tanks. Perhaps I'll get lucky enough to have them keep growing and reproducing in my tank!
Still have the fry to contend with. I didn't see any at lunch when I went home, but I didn't have a lot of time to look either.

Any progress? I'm pretty sure my Yellow Tails are breeding and I can see in their cave quite well, but I think I missed their spawn.
Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]
