Bicolor Parrot Fish

[boozzbro]

Any have any info on this guy.
they have one at the fish store near me and i was wondering what requirements they have. I cant seem to find too much info on them. While i was watching him i noticed it was eating silversides so i know he'll eat those at least and ive seen him eat wich usually helps.
any other info would be appreciated. I dotnm want to go buy a fish jsut becasue it looks cool i want to be able to keep it healthy.
Thanks

Not a very hearty fish, they feed alot on corals and also grow very large 30"+.

seems like only 1 in 10 or so are able to be kept from what ive found so far.
i dont like those odds. ill leave this one alone.
3 ft in length wasnt helping the cause either.

imo parrot fish are just one of those fish that should be left in the ocean
