Mine is a pain in the backside. Cool fish to look at but full of bad attitude. He bothers any new addition to the tank.

He once jumped and I made the mistake of getting him back in the water and performing fish CPR. In hindsight I should have let him flip around on the carpet until he stopped moving.

I have just replaced the one I had. Didnt bother the other fish, but he was a lot smaller than the other fish. I liked him...He disappeared a week or so ago and I couldn't find him until the other day when I located him under a filter below my tank{still not sure how he got there}. Needless to say, he was pretty dried up..So as in the other post, they do jump...:biggrin:

Had a couple over the years and usually ended up getting rid of them because they were always harrassing some of the other fish I had at the time.

Have one now in the hopes it would eat flatworms, but of course not. He lives with larger fish, including a trigger and behaves himself perfectly. I can now say I like this fish, in the correct environment. :biggrin:

My favourite current fish, I think... I love how active it is, and mine, at least, did eat flatworms, and hasn't jumped out, and (so far) keeps aggression to a minimum. It occasionally tries to bully my royal gramma, but so far has come out second in those jousts.

It was my first fish, never bothers the others. Very fun to watch as it does wierd things.

I should say that it is really a hardy fish, I've had mine for over three years and he keeps on ticking.

They are a beautiful fish and interesting to watch. However mine is a bully to any small inhabitants or newly introduced fish. So much so that he has even killed a few.
