Didn't know where else to post about this fish.

I see alot of these fish in somewhat monster tanks n prices sometimes rises but can't find that much info. Are they special in any way or why they get expensive?Rare?

They are not expensive or rare. They are excellent algae eaters. They poop a lot because of this. They grow large and will do well in most large community setups. Unless it is a really big tank, they will do best with only one of them.

I'd recommend nothing less than a 125 for one. I used to have one in my 75 but they are very active for their size and they like to move around a lot.

Also, they can jump like a salmon. I learned that by experience

Best cleaner around, left over food, algae, sometimes poop. They don't have stringy poo like plecos. Fun to watch.
