Rereading Klaus Woltmans,"Exotic Aquarium Fishes." This is a very interesting looking fish! Does anyone have, or know about these guys. The picture is not so good and the information from my 1966 edition scant. I'm just curious.
 
Had a several more than a few years back. Cool looking oddball. Didn't see them much but were very active at night. An overlooked fish.

They're best kept either singly or in large groups of 6 or more. Trying to keep 2 or a few will result in one becoming aggressive and causing injury to the other(s). With 6 or more the aggression is spread out sufficiently for them to co-exist.
