I believe they are a cool water fish (from California), won't do well at mid to high 70s...do some research

Did the research.....

 

[skimmerman100]

and what was ur conclusion to ur research? im interested in one too

They need to be kept at 65-70, though some people do keep them in the mid 70's. Another thing is that they get very large, not your typical damsel.

 

[skimmerman100]

yeah they are so nice though.

My 300g is kept in the low 70s, so I should be fine; have seen in tanks that were in the upper 70s without an issue, but I wouldn't do it.....

This is also true; they can get over 8" easily.....You need a big tank to house them.

I thought about getting one as a Juvey.. One of my clients has one and their tank is kept at 78.. Had it for 3 years now and it's huge and mean..

Country Critters in Patchogue, NY had a few about 2 weeks ago

Fishtown in Queens, NY sometimes have them (haven't been there in a while)

I have had one for roughly six months now with a Niger trigger and a Queen Angel. The Niger and the Queen are slightly larger at 3" and the Garabaldi is 2". A very beutiful and active fish. My tank is kept at 74.
