My brother got this fish today, he was told it was a whiptail fish.. but when I looked around, it didn't look like that to me.. I did a little research and I think it's a two-lined Fusilier... this is the pic on the internet I found... this pic said it was a "red sea Fusilier"

Here are two pics I took of him.. sorry they are really big but it shows alot of detail..

Does anyone know about the care of this fish?... how BIG they get etc. Any thoughts?

thx,

Puff

Yep, it looks like a Marr's or twinstripe fusilier, Pterocaesio marri. Fishbase says it gets about a foot, eats plankton. lives in schools.
