Welcome to the forum!

This fish cannot be confused with any other. Please, read up on it well. It is not as bad/vicious as many data/care sheets would make it look but it is capable of shredding any tank mate to pieces. However, it appears from the many keepers of this fish (and IME too) that it (almost) never happens. It behaves rather as a peaceful scavenger.
