DO NOT GET ONE! Regrettably, I have killed 5 over the past 3 years. I have heard if you can keep one alive longer than two weeks they will last forever. Only fish I have ever had a problem with. I know people who have had similar problems with them.
 
bbbbbbbbaaaaaaallllliiiiinnnn!!!! man if you get a school of these you would be aquarium god lol nice acan garden by the way

lol,I wish, I was told that they dont ship well also but I had one I gave to my sister with no fish,reef experience and she had it for quit a while
 
I have 4 in a 210 and have had them about 2 years. One has turned into a male which is about 4" and the rest are females.
They seem to be very happy and healthy.

I bought 3 and all three survived
 
I have one. Used to be in a 45g tank. Got very aggressive with my clownfish so I moved him to a bigger tank.

Had him for about 2+ years now.
 
I bought 3 about 3 yrs ago. The smaller one died after about 4 months. Then the smaller female got pop-eye and died a yr later. And then after about 2 yrs the larger one got pop eye and died. In my experince they do not live long. Guess, I was lucky to keep them as long as I did. I had them in a 500 gal sps reef tank. They are not fish I will invest in again.
 
the LFS I got have a trio that they've had maybe for a year now. hope they like the 1000g they are in.
 
Never had any issues with mine, I got a school of 5 about 2years ago and they all survived very well. Here's a quick pic of my biggest one;

They are sweet looking fish, I took my family on a 9 state road trip summer before last and stopped at the LFS's along the way as I spotted them. One of the LFS's had a display tank with them in it and I am pretty sure I got some pic's, I'll have to check the Photobucket to see if I can find them.
