Any tips on keeping spotted sweet lips?
Or anyone who has successfully kept one?
Just bought a juvenile from an exporter. I read its quite difficult to keep.

i dont buy one because from research ive read it grows very fast and very big.. plus the mature sweetlips is not very good looking.. before i thought it was just a variant of clownfish, same swimming habits and almost the same physical appearance.. so i tried a few but i never got it to eat any type of pellets.. but that was years back..
