Parrotfish

[mjdlonghorn]

Has anyone kept a parrotfish? I know they are not recommended, but if could feed him inverts it would make a great addition to a large aquarium. I am surprised at how many parrots I see for sale online and in stores. Someone must be successful at keeping these.

Tank would have to be huge. They get enormous. And it is not about eating inverts. In the wild they chomp rock and coral to get the algae. I am not sure long-term that can be replicated in captivity.
