Parrotfish?

[justgeorge]

Anyone got any pics of parrotfish in their tanks? I'm contemplating one for my 240. So far can't find the right variety online, and none of my local LFS have one. I believe I'm looking for the "Bower's Parrotfish" which looks like this:

The picture you are posting is an adult, as juveniles they look considerably different, and very hard to make a positive ID, because many parrotfish look the same as juveniles.

I have never seen an adult parrotfish available...but there are many juveniles available.

Take a look at the Bicolor Parrotfish, as they are the most readily available...they also have very nice coloring as an adult.

i see those beautiful parrot fishes all the time, its too bad they have a very poor survivability rate and are better left in the wild in the ocean and in their natural habitat, hope this help's...

I see those at my LFS all the time as well. They are very beautiful fish. I have read that they're survivability rate is low, as mentioned above. They also like to pick at live rock with those beaks.
