Is this a Sweetlips?

[DeeSeven]

I had to celebrate getting a new light with a new fish (good story to tell the better half trust me) so anyways i picked up what I thought was a sweetlips but I can't find anything that looks like my fish. It's not the best picture in the world but he won't stay still for me yet he's adjusting to the tank still.


edit: better picture added

Looks like some kind of parrot juvenile or wrasse. sweetlips have lips

Doesn't look like one to me. Are you sure you want one anyhow? They need large setups.

my room mate and I are setting up a 200 gallon tank together so i was gonna put him in there but its a bicolor parrotfish which need 300 gallons atleast so that wont work **** such a beautiful fish

 

[Grins]

200 gallons...nice! Sorry that you'll have to take your new find back however.

i know its a shame such a nice fish

Sooo...you didn't do your research before you went out to your LFS looking for a pretty little fishy?

Uh huh.hum huh.....lol

 

[Nolapete]

Cool, I was right with my first guess. I've usually seen them much larger. LFS is crazy for even ordering those.

Glad you like your light, and that is a pretty fish still

hahah yea yuri thats what I get for not researching i guess but it's all good and i agree nola why would they even bother ordering them. Darkcirca i love the light i was thinking what if i put the fish in my bathtub haha. (i'm kidding dont worry)
