I've never had one, always wanted one...but I'd cry if one died in one of my tanks. I've been trying to talk myself into taking the chance for a while, but I know that since it's my favorite (non-aggressive) fish, I'd be *really* upset if it died.
It's a good price for both of them, but know that they naturally feed on sponge and coralline...your tank is established enough to house them, but it really depends on what other fish you have in with them. They have to be in a *totally* non-aggressive tank...they usually do best in their own tank since they need a lot of space to swim, but also a lot of places to hide.
If you do buy them, best of luck to you!!!!! (and them lol)
