This is another fish I have tried several times and species and never had luck. All die within months. I have one lyretail that lasted about 8 months and then jumped
Another fish that I have to say should for the most part be left in the ocean. There are just certain species that for whatever reason do not last in aquarium. IMO hundreds dying for every one that does seem to thrive is far too high of a price for the species to pay.
Having said that, I would love to find a species that does do well in captivity.
