Nothing else in the tank, I'm afraid.

I had one about 4" w/paroons, jardini and dats. It was always active and ate bloodworms and small silversides. But it didnt' survive the move.

Although the write up is that it attacks tankmates, I never saw any aggression but it was only 4"

that is plain cruel. Why would you torture the other fish like that? its like cutting off a birds wings. i strongly suggest not ever telling us about your sick little " just to see....."experiments

Well lets see here even in the profile on this site it says, and i quote "Younger fish in the aquarium do not seem so dangerous, perhaps becuase they are young or well fed." well my fish was well fed and the other fish was larger, so i figured id see if i could manage to keep somthing with it until the other fish grew out, since the other fish was a fast grower. Now i know i cant keep anything with it even from a small size so hes alone, so please dont try the holyier then thow thing with me, im not new to fish keeping and every one makes mistakes and really its no worse then feeding a piranha a goldfish, except in my case i was hoping nothing would happen
