Silversides are definitely interesting looking (and acting, if you ever see
them in the wild). Their reputation as an aquarium fish includes being
difficult to get home alive and keep alive once home. Salt added to the
water and extra care in handling are two good ways of encouraging success.

Two articles to give you a good start:

Best of luck,
