This is a beautiful group of fish. They are generally deep-bodied fish
with long dorsal and anal fins. They are brightly colored and good reef inhabitants. They
are peaceful, but shy. They should not be kept with aggressive eaters, as they will often
be chased away from feeding. They are usually expensive and even a little difficult to
keep and care for. Special care should be made when introducing them to a new tank and
when choosing tank-mates. They are not good starter fish.
