IMO nics are lovely looking fish but as for temperment they are no match for JD's, Salvini's and the like. I did have a pair in with convicts once and this worked well but then introduced a GT and it went bad lost one managed to save the other.

he's by himself for now, so i don't know how he'll interact with tankmates.
