Mine took 2 big bites out of my Frontosas dorsal fin and chased him endlessly. Needless to sya bullet found a new home.

my dad has two 10" in his 125, and nipping to to a minimum. This fish definately has good ones and bad ones. My gf came home from a trip and found that heres, at 2" had demolished here platy tank, and needless to say its in a robust cichlid tank now.

So there is no way to tell who gets the ones that work and the killers.

Can this fish go with clown knives, bichirs, severums, bala sharks?

They can be territorial. I have 3 at 8" in a 6x2x2 tank. Theyare always chasing each other, but they seem to leave their tankmates. They are best kept in groups and in decent sized tanks.
