Can be somewhat agressive, but should be fine with fish of similar size (they get about 10"). They are fast and if you get a few more they look awesome in groups. I would feed them the same things as your pbass, along with some cichlid staple pellets Nice pickup. Those fish are sweet

Nice fish. Watch these guys though, I tried keeping two together in the same tank, but they were happier to be by themselves, unless of course you have a large school of like 17of them

[rallysman]

probably, but I would offer them pellets instead.

Love the teeth on Pink Tails Especially when they start getting larger at least 4 inches I am sure that at twelve their teeth are even more awesome
