I had some in my livingroom community tank for a while. Very active and over bread!

Some that we had showed signs of scoliosis, lol...lots of birth defects ect, but cool fish I guess, as they always seem to be moving, even at night.

Once the fancy goldfish in that tank grew up though, so I had to make room...My Bichir's thought they were tasty!

My friend has some. She has them with Platy, Molly, BN pleco, Barbs and assorted snails. They sometimes chase the other fish around but don't do any harm. They're pretty neat looking fish

No, and I never will, nor the fish that have been drawn on with markers (Mollies, mostly). Nor the new Glow-in-the-dark Angelfish and Cichlids. If these thing start to interbreed with the normal kinds, it will ruin them, and may get out into the original habitats of these fish due to human stupidity.
