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.

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.

I quite enjoy mine. Lots of character, not much of a bully in my tank. It could be because it is young, I have heard they get meaner with age. It is usually the last one to come out for feeding and my female maroon clown usually bosses him around at that time.
When I was moving livestock over from my 75g reef to my 135, I had moved lots of the liverock over and had a rubbermaid sitting on the floor with just a few drops of water in it. I was busy chasing around my other fish into nets when I walked over and saw the 6 line in the rubbermaid. He must have been in there for a few minutes already, he was definatly freaked out as when I put him into the new tank he hid for two days. Although it certainly made catching him easy! My tank now is completely canopied in, so there is no chance of carpet surfing. He has only made it into my overflow once. It'll be interesting to see how he does when I introduce a few new fish to the tank next weekend, as the tank will become a bit more crowded. Hopefully lots of hiding spots, and moving some rock around, will overcome any aggression towards the new fish.
