It's a lot more difficult to write something out as opposed to talking face to face, the subtle facial clues and body language don't convey the actual intent. If I said, "Doode, your so wrong, look it up" if we were talking face to face you could easily tell if I was being angrily serious or being lighthearted goofy, by the tone in my voice, the look on my face and the set of my body language. Words don't convey those clues, so readers tend to interpret words from the frame of mind they have at the moment. Smilies may help a little but still not the same . Is that making sense?

Yes, I know what you mean. It is hard to know if some one is being sarcastic or geniune sometimes for example. Maybe this was a similar situation and I mis-read it. If that is the case then I apologize. I just didn't want the OP to get offended and leave.

Luther, if there is any animosity I apologise, I was trying to help the OP out, I have dial up and somewhat limited time, so I tried to give "a safe answer" after the questions were raised I looked more and revised me answer for stated reasons. Hopefully Gabriel will take all the advice with a grain of salt and come to his own conclusion. I feel that no one really meant anything derogatory Its just that when you ask a question you may get a variety of answers

I'm with Luther on this one. As a newby i was prone to ask sometime the same question , because i had heard things from others who had done it or because i was exploring every possibilities i could find till i gave up a choice i liked. its better to inform that to bully. But i must say Gabriel, that yes they would fight each other, try this sitehttp://www.liveaquaria.com/ they have a chart with the doos and don't in pairing fishes. As for me i was talking about SWINGRRRR reply.Not helpful.
