Agreed. You may want to wait until you have a bigger tank? The only ones I have personally seen that are doing really well in aquariums are in huge tanks. Otherwise they tend to not last long.

If you do find one, this is a species I would QT in a large tank for a while. They seem to be quite the ich magnets (more than most tangs) and do NOT seem to be able to fight ich off on their own as well as some other species.

Good luck!
