I guess that must be Cetopsis coecutiens. I have two of them (they were three but one managed to escape). They're extremely active, always looking for something to tear apart. So far I haven't dared to mix them with other fish.

They might be lousy aquarium inhabitants, but they're fun to watch sometimes. Here's a QT video. And a WMV clip.

Yes, two of the pics on that site are mine. Wouldn't mind so much if he hadn't called them "Great white" and "shark".

Good choice.
