Selene vomer

Or known as a look-down fish. Anyone ever kept one of these successfully in a reef or fowlr before?

Ive known a couple of people that have kept them in a fish only tank as a room divider. They get huge tho - and need lots of space. Cool looking fish!

A lot of them don't eat, usually have some type of eye damage and are easily bully in a tank. As Herman said they do get big, though you see small ones show up from time to time. They do need a lot of open space, so I wouldn't place them in a reef tank or even a Fowlr tank. They're also a schooling fish and usually do better in pairs or small groups.

I've seen these at Jawz. You would need a pretty big FOLR tank to keep these things. Cool looking fish, but they get HUGH.

I too have seen these at Jawz, I also agree with Alfredo they do get huge. They aren't easy to care for either, do some research on them first, I think they need a 200+ Galon tank.
