squirrelfish?

[chevster]

anyone ehre ever kept a type of squirrelfish....???

i just saw em at a Pet Store in L.A. and thought that one would be great candidate for my upcoming FOWLR tank...

i heard they are venomous, but how do they envenomate you?
also what are the pros and cons about these guys?

would love to see pics, if there are any...

Squirrel fish often come from deeper water, so they may take a little while to adjust to brighter lights. They are also nocturnal, so they might not be too active during the day at first either. They won't harrass other tankmates, but may/will eat those fish that can fit in it's mouth. The venmous spine is in their gill plates, so nothing to really worry about there. HTH
