They have lots of personality, but more aggressive. Mine will try and bite me when I get close to the tank. They aren't shy, and they are very interested in what is going on out side the tank. They are extremely territorial, and I wouldn't keep tank mates unless you have a very large tank. My texas at 7'' almost killed my 13'' oscar.

The best carpintis I've seen so far(I mean carpintis here, no escondidos or cyanos), I wish my lil rascal turns out just like him.
I herd they slow down a lot after 8"(sometimes stop growing also), is it true?
I like to see him at 12+" mark ASAP....goodluck mate!

I havent seen any carpintis more than 10" till date.
