as anyone else seen these fish on sale before. i know next to nothing about saltwater and i saw a fly gurnard on sale at my LFS for $130. coolest freaking fish I've ever seen for a saltwater tank. it had these two huge wings and would fly around the tank, then, it would tuck in its wings and literally walk along the bottom. can anyone tell me the requirements of these fish? the guy working there said you would need a 180 to keep one for life.
Fly gurnard?

They had some for sale on liveaquaria and the description said they are hard fish Because they need a ton of small inverts often. Sort of like feeding a school of mandarin fish. Not sure if it's the same fish though. They called theirs dragon gunards.

They need lots of room 180 sounds minimum. Ad they're about on par with walking batfish as far as difficulty to eat. Which is tough
They are sweet looking. They guy working there said they are easy to feed because they will eat cut shrimp. He also said their synonym name is robin fish. I've caught robin fish before and they have smaller wings and are dark brown. There must be different species or something.

I've had two starve in my tank refusing to eat prepared food I've been told baby lion fish were easy too
Really? I've caught them in the wild on cut shrimp when fishing for pinfish. What do/should you feed them in aquaria?

Mine only ate ghost shrimp and they weren't near enough nutrients for them. Even tries to wean them onto krill on a piece of fishing line and they wouldn't fall for it.
