Seen these guys at Malaga the last few times I've been and they've caught my interest.

Anyone got any experience with these? Would be interested in their eating habits and their aggressiveness.

If I were to get one it would be housed with a Fully grown Male GT and BGK. 23cm and 15cm respectively. Male GT Ignores anything smaller then him.

Thanks

fairly easy to keep and relatively peaceful, not too sure what the larger fish might do to them, but they generally get to about 7 to 13cm.

easy to keep (ive got 4)
but aggressive there very slow moving and tend to just hang around but once they see something they want (ie a fish smaller than them) it shots up and eats them. with the fish you suggested i dont think you would have any problem at all and they lay eggs like theres no tommorow. my male is fanning one lot of eggs and she gone and laid more,even at work(AAA) just a couple of days after we got them in they had eggs.
