Blue hamlet

Would a Blue Hamlet have enuf space in a 55? also any general info you know about them would be helpful. Im looking at maybe setting up a 55 now, and the blue hamlet has sparked my interest
Thanks

No. They can get very large rather quickly... if you can keep them alive long enough. IMO I would leave them in the ocean. They are very cool fish though.

really? i had done a little research on them already and some from this site said that they only get to be 5 inches. Also SWF.com sells them and sais they are moderate to care for.
Anyone else out there with any experience with them that could help clear this u pfor me?
Not debating what you said Cinci, just want to be clear on them.
thanks

IMO a 5" fish is rather large for a 55 gallon. And I would be careful about depending on what descriptions sites give that sell fish... They aren't going to say many fish are difficult to keep alive for awhile because they want to sell them... HTH.
