Nice fish. Where did you get them at? You alluded to them being aggressive. How is that so if they hide all the time? I'm trying to add to my catfish collection and these things look cool as hell lol

Just a guess but they probably hide because they are nocturnal and when they become active a night is when they bother the other inhabitants.

Well I actually do have other fish in there with them. Do be honest I keep them very well fed and they dont bother anyone. I actually have a much smaller catfish in there they dont even mess with. I got them from predatory fins.

They can be a bit aggressive to other fish and catfish in particular but their trademark aggression is their mouth and being an ambush predator. They are not dissimilar to gulper in that regard.

I think they are very cool fish, interesting, unusual, quirky, interactive, and smart... and really funny to touch and play with.
