lovely fish. Very, very nearly bought one last year here in UK. It was about 5" and really full-it was a good price because someone had brought it back to the LFS because it was too aggressive. I bottled it because of this and it was due to go in my tank with Dats so didn't risk it.
They're rarely available but would love to keep one someday. Whats it in with (if anything)?

Brilliant photos BTW-really caught the patterns well
