    Lookdown fish?

    Anyone know anything about lookdowns? I have a 280 MIXED reef, and im looking at a pair of them to buy. Just dont know much about them. Any advise would be helpful. Ive heard they are reef safe, contrary to most websites, if not, then why? I my tank is 8ft so lots of swiming room. Thanks

    They have a whole school of them in the tank at Fort Fisher Aquarium and they are really cool looking but I don't know anything about them. Your tank looks great!

    Why the heck would you want them in a reef tank?

    Keep them in a large tank. A school of them is a lot less aggravating than Blue Tangs and especially that Yellow Tangs.
