Just picked up one of these anybody had one before? I heard they are pretty difficult to keep.

Parrot fish for the most part eat algae growing in and on hard coral, they bite into the corals, making it hard to keep them in a home aquarium. You need to feed it a lot of algae to keep it a live. So your going to need to get Nori sheets and other foods, like Formular II, and see if it will take that. Parrot fish are usually a tough fish to keep not to mention that some get very very large.
