[semperfimarine1]

ya you see them at public aquariums usually and require alot of room..

[apedroza]

Aren't those found in our coastal water?? Maybe try some of the fisherman there!!!

[RayAllen]

yep, not to discourage but they do require large aquariums 300g+ is best and prefer to be in groups. Does not do go solo. With that said Alamo Aquatics had some months back, you may want to check with them.

i got one from wolf reef it has not eaten anything and i have had him 2 days im startin to worry can anyone help?

[RayAllen]

Not sure of what to tell you, we tried to discourage you from buying it,lol just giving you are hard time. But on a seroius note What are the specs on the aquarium size; water parems etc.... Also it normal for a fish not to eat for a few days after purchase especially more hard to keep specimens such as look downs. Give it a couple of more days and if it still hasnt eaten then you can be concerned.

They are a cool looking fish. But there a fish better looking in the sea ,not a tank.

We used to have a few in a 700 gallon and I still think they were unhappy with that size!

[ikey360]

i have it in a 135 gallon and he still aint eatin

[semperfimarine1]

what are you feeding? does he interact well with any other livestock or do them stress him out at all?

[caferacermike]

From what I understand they tend not to eat in captivity. They tend to be like Moorish Idols, better left in the oceans.

There is an adult sized one at Kona bar and grill in the shops at La Cantera.

I have had a small juvi lookdown (1.5 inches) in my 24G nano for 2 months. He eats live amphipods, frozen mysis, and frozen cyclops. It took him 2 days before he was comfortable enough to eat. Now he never hesitates to eat what ever moves. See if you can find some LIVE feeder grass shimp for yours as I started out feeding mine live food first then moved him to frozen. My Lookdown is also the only fish in the tank.

Check out the picture of him eating frozen mysis. The pictures are from today.
