So you bought both. Very impressive fish. Do they behave okay towards your other fishes?

They just ignore the other fish, which are mostly hoplos (although they obviously couldn't be trusted with anything small :P ).

They like each other's company, but they don't spend all their time together.

They've gotten very tame. When I put my hand in the water they nuzzle it with their snouts, hoping for a snack.
