Do blue mansheers make good pets???

I just learnt a new thing or two on blue mahseers, if you're referring to the ones from Thailand. Normally Thai blue mahseer means Neolissochilus/Tor Stracheyi, my experience with the Tor version is they can be very unforgiving to the smaller, weaker ones. My biggest one is ramming into all the other smaller tank mates, and at times at quite high speed.
The silver lining is that mahseers seem incredibly tough. Despite all the ramming, no scale came off yet. I'd blame the aggression on my silly decision to purchase two specimens that is obviously too big for my current tank. Will probably move them to a pond where I work, but i probably won't see much of it from the top of the pond due to them being very good at camouflage....
But be warned, they can be aggressive for a mahseer....and quite so...
