Never kept one. IMHO, I bet they act like an ordinary ol' freshwater drum....like the kind I catch on live crayfish/shiner minnows while trying to catch the world record Smallmouth Bass . I bet they bother nothing as long as it's at least 3/4 of their size. I can't/don't see them being aggressive towards any other fish in the tank, as long as it's not small enough to be considered as a meal.I believe that they are mostly an ambush type predator. When a prey item swims by them ,they just suck it in.... Very fast and violently!!! They will chase something somewhat, but mostly just wait for it to come to them....in the wild that is. Aquariums are a bit different. Prey cannot get away, so chasing in a tank setting would be more noticeable ,I would imagine. At least once that they've learned that trick ,after becoming adjusted to aquarium life. Thanks.
peaceful with fish they cannot eat. its rare in the hobby, probably first time being sold to my knowledge.
