Jasmine Russell –
This fish is a striking addition to a large marine tank. It has a beautiful yellow-lined appearance and is active during the day. After several months, it has grown to about 4 inches and shows no signs of aggression when properly sized and housed with compatible species. Requires a large tank and expert maintenance, but worth the effort for its visual appeal.
Amanda Dowd –
We kept this fish in a 125-gallon tank with other large fish. It is semi-aggressive and needs space to move. It does not eat corals, which is a relief. The fish is healthy and active, though it requires careful monitoring of tank conditions and water parameters.
Karen Wright –
The fish arrived healthy and looks well maintained. It has been in the tank for three months and seems to be adjusting. We are still learning the care routine, and it’s clear this species is not for casual hobbyists. The size growth is slow, but visible over time.
