Anyone have these in their salt tanks?

I used to work at the LFS and me and the other guy that ordered fish ordered one just to see what they were and it only lived like a week. We later found out that they need cold water and do not do well in capitivity unless you devote all of you time to their requirements.

Touche, I have heard about them needing a lower water temp than most fish. It would be cool to start up a coldwater saltwater community tank. BUT HARD!

The ones I seen at the store were taking krill

they do like cooler water and bigger ones eat any thing from crayfish to blue claws

Long Beach aquarium has or had an exhibit full of them. They were an awesome sight right next to the flashlight fish.
