Wow what a fish I have never heard of these before what can they be kept with and how expensive are they?
 
You can keep em in with any fish that can hold their own. Rapps has them. Not to expensive.
 
They are very aggressive and will bully whatever they outgrow. The male you see in the pic is constantly chasing everything in the tank. You have to see what the 2 females look like when they spawn with him. Here is an older pic of one of the females during a spawning cycle. Amazing they are still alive. Tried through a divider but there was no interest by the male. The older shot of them is from a year ago. I've been asked if they are slow growing. I haven't found this to be true. My male went from 5" to 12" in around a year.
