Impulse buy Princess parrotfish for trade or a good home

[gusto10]

Hello everyone,
I was at Aquahut the other day with my son, He's starting to enjoy the hobbie with me, He saw a princess parrotfish and really like it and it was an impulse buy. I'm looking to find him a good home because my snowflake eel is bothering him and He's really not eating all that much and getting a little thin. He's about 7" and really nice. I'm looking for a good home for him and if someone want's to trade him for some zoa's or mushrooms that would be fine because he cost me $90.00 but my main concern is finding him a home. they like to eat algae off of live rock and will eat SPS, they usually dont bother soft corals. some say they are a hard fish to keep others say they've had them for years with no problems, they also need a large aquarium at least 150 gallons.

Thanks

How far is east meadow from port washington? If it's not too far I can pick it up for you tomorrow lucky. I have to go through GWB anyway and cliffside park is not too far for me.

It's about 15 miles away. I would have traded him a nice size rock with some metallic green mushrooms on it....

Now also he seems to be doing Ok, but hasn't really eaten much. he hangs out under a rock and swims out every once in a while and I'm not sure if it's because my snowflake eel chases him. I tried offering him some food but he wont take it from me, I did notice some bite marks on my live rock.
