I tried to get some action pics but he is way too fast... but i got some action on video :D
 
Nice fish! Very unique to have one, really cool! Watch out with him being spooked in such a "small" tank, it can run into the sides and bump his nose or kill himself easy. Get some plants on the sides and maybe a bigger tank soon.
 
A very nice pick up !
And excuse me for saying Andri, but your tanks look slightly underfiltered with those Eheims internal gimmicks.

Those Eheim Aquaball filters are actually quite good :)
They should be enough along with my 50% weekly water change but yes more would be good.
 
love ur tank setups any more pics of the top and bottom one

The fish scene here is not big, there are only a few stores that get something special like that and thats the first to be ordered.
