    Additional Information & Description

    Having admired Desjardinis ever since I first began keep marine aquariums, it was only a matter of time until I got my own. At the moment it is the largest fish in our tank. My wife picked him up for me at our local fish store. Sea Dwellers in Angola IN. It has grown a fair bit in our custody, and is first in line for food. It has harassed some fish when first introduced. Most noteably the Queen angel. But in time it got over it and doesn't bother anyone unless startled.

    Thanks Miz! It puffs up like that when it is startled or displaying. They do get pretty large, so it's not a fish for everyone. But I'm glad it seems to like it's new home.

    Thanks! The pics look bluer than in person. I use a canon powershot s5is. Really just need to get a good point and shoot like Jim has. But I don't want to mess with funky data sticks or whatever they use.
