Dont worry, i know the consquences of buying this brilliant fish. Just wanted to see if anyones had any luck on keeping one ? Want to see if theres a certain way we can keep these. They are my absoloute favoruite fish i could watch them for hours on end. Would love to be able to keep one

The only difficulty is in their diet. They eat copepods mostly, so you need a huge colony of them to sustain it. You can also try getting it hooked to dry or frozen food, but it's difficult. Other than that I don't think they're hard to keep than any other fish.

I know i know, is there any particular way to help copepods grow? Thats quite a hard task though because ive heard they just wipe your tank clean of them and still want more.

Having an immense amount of live rock and a refugium can help.
