Funny you ask this, I am just about to catch mine as he is bothering my clam. Super easy fish to keep though. Eats just about anything, isn't aggressive- doesn't bother my mandarin and doesn't really care for my midas blenny either.

ask "andsoitgoes" it was his fav. fish....I would have to be on the other side of it...mine was ok to corals but everytime we put our hand in the tank he would go for us immediately! He bit my husband more times than I can count...and there was no way to get him out...he also harassed my clowns, and would chase a few of the other fish...I muchly prefer my Midas to the Bi-color I had.

hehe -yeah, that's my schmuckers. He was the most docile and simply amazing fish I've ever had.

However I've heard other stories about other bi-colors, of course I would have the one who breaks all the rules and goes against the standard, he never nipped at my hand, would go crazy when I came near the tank with my feeding tube, and was just a total character!!

I think yours would be a good addition to your tank, but as far as the personality, they vary so much - Mine loved all other fish, didn't bother ANYONE - and this was in a 7g bowfront, and he'd been in there with at least 1 other fish for months upon months.

just goes to show every fish is different!!

My next fav is my dwarf angelfish though, one of the best purchases I've made as well!

I've had three of them and all were easy going but would not take any crap from other fish.

The first two jumped. Now I have my tank completely covered.
