+1000 on this. I, admittedly (and shamefully), thought that the rest of the fishkeeping world was also nuts about not being able to keep an MI. And, truthfully, there are many people who have "lucked out" in keeping them. So, I figured I would try it. Afterall, I have had tremendous success with many "difficult" animals, so surely this wouldn't be any different.

Let me be the first to say that I WAS TERRIBLY WRONG! Unfortunately, I am also a slow learner, so it took-not just one failure-but two before I admitted defeat. These are-no doubt-spectacular fish, and I (along with many others) would love to have them grace our tanks; however, to continue to try would be a waste of a beautiful, stunning fish.

Until there is a way to purchase an animal that is tank bred-save the life of a fish, and yourself the heartache of such devastating loss.

We can't always get what we want-
