hello everyone,
i just licked out and picked up a supposed comfirmed pair at what i believe was a great price (sorry no pics at this point, getting them acclimated as stress free as i can). from the info i've seen, the info seems to be all over the place on care. can anyone provide any info form personal experience on these guys?

thanks in advance

I have a bigger guy that enjoys fillets, krill and surprising new era catfish pellets(they are bigger and a bit moist). Outgoing and not really agressive only had problems with an Ornatum.

Cool fish not overly aggressive, breed around 5", they don't have strong jaws which can injured, also watch size of tank mates they can eat them if small enough....

Thanks. I saw places that said super aggressive, some saying not aggressive. Normally I try to research a little more before getting a fish, but at 30 bucks for what was said to be a pair (male around 6-7 inches, female around 4-5 inches) i figured i'd take it and run.
