NOTES:This has to be one of the prettiest fish in the ocean,however the downside is they don't usually acclimate very well to a home or office aquarium.They are a deep water fish that like little light and plenty of rocks to hid in.The trick is to get them to eat.most of the time these fish stress due to shipping and they will not eat for a few days,we recommend brine shrimp(live)to help with this problem.Try to feed 2-3 times a day until they adjust properly.Keep them in a community tank.Usually they have a better success rate if they are in a school of 1 male to every 2 females.more than one male can fight if housed together.
