I'm still working on my fishlist and am trying to decide between these two as one of the definites.
The info on all the sources I've checked varies quite a bit between peaceful, semi-aggressive, aggressive, and I was hoping to get some opinions of people who've had one or the other in their tanks.

Other future inhabitants for the tank will be a goby, a blenny (specifics to be determinded, the goby maybe a Rainfordi or a Hector's and the Blenny possibly a Midas or a Red Sea Mimic) and a small school of either chromis or Filamented Flasher Wrasses.

Go for the black cap basselet. I've read too many stories about pseudos wreaking havoc in tanks. The black cap is a cool fish.

I don't know what you've heard but my little fridmani behaves quite well. :D (At least when we're looking.)

I like the Black caps. I never had one but I think both the fish you are looking at are semi-agressive and somewhat territorial, so take your pick. Both fish are cool but I think the Black-caps are something just a little different. LAter Ryan

Nothing yet!

I have to find out if Sean can get me one or the other.

It's hard to decide, as I like the looks of both, and the Fridmani is available as tank bred.

I'm taking it slow! :)

I agree with the above if you get a pseudi make sure he goes in the tank last, but still there is a chance he could get little man syndrome, maybe think basslet even the royal gramma, I almost went pseudi and got the gramma instead. Fun to watch swim upside down and all over.
