Love this fish but very hard to keep long term.

I had one of those for a while, it's very interesting to watch them work.

Pia to keep long term...
I don't think I've heard of many being able to keep them either.
Shame, because they're absolutely stunning.
There was a mostly yellow one that was sold a few years ago, gorgeous!

So, sand substrate is just fine for them? How deep are your beds?

 

[Tuffyyyyy]

What makes them hard to keep? Do they not get enough nutrition? Jump risk?

Aren't they a cooler water species?

Aren't they a cooler water species?

Yes, it appears so from the quick research I just did. I never knew that; I had one several years ago in a 12 g nano. I can't recall how long it lived. My research says they live in ocean temps of upper 50's to lower 70's and in depths of 30 to 90 feet. I guess I won't be purchasing one[emoji17]
