Bartail Fusilier???

I saw one of these at a LFS store today. A pretty fish but when I got home I could not find much info on them. Anyone here have any insight or experience with them. I left a deposit until I could find a little more info before I purchased. Thanks for any information you can give.

I've worked with them a few times. They're pretty hardy fish, though they tend to be jumpy. I wouldn't suggest keeping them with large or aggressive tank mates. They seem to do best in groups too; singles are often even more skittish. The big down side is that these grow to be relatively large (nearly a foot) and high energy animals that need a Very large aquarium to do well long term. I can't recommend keeping them in a tank under 400ish gallons.

thanks for the info. He is a very nice looking fish. I will take a pass and get a coral instead.
