Baby Whale Cat Info?

[Griff1327]

Anyone ever kept a baby whale cat (Cetopsis coecutiens) before? Awesome looking little guy. Trying to get some more info on them since there is very little on the web.

mean as hell...need to be kept in groups, need large tanks as they are very fast and like to swim alot...need a good lid as they like to jump as well...anything else you want to know?

They don't play well with others.

Is that the one that takes bites out of tankmates then swims away? Like hit and run style?

I'm pretty sure that it is. Or burrows into larger fish and eats them from the inside.
