    Very cool fish. But also very shy. Will not tolerate allot of other fish activity.

    Mine will tend to stay hidden away during day, and come out at night to feed and wander. :Halloween49:

    FYI, if you don't have one male and one female, be prepared to lose one as fish of the same sex will fight to the death.
