Passive???? ****, when i feed mine bloodworms he comes straight from his hieing spot and attacks the surface. Ive been teaching my fish to come up to eat, so i tap gently on the frame with there food. After a few weeks they all come up even before the food hits the water.
I've kept loads of BGK's over the years. They LURVE bloodworm!!
The thing that surprises me is that all you Americans say that they can be nasty, but in all the ones I've kept I've never known an aggressive one. They CAN hold thier own - they have big powerful mouths - but every one I've ever had has been peaceful. I've kept them with the smallest fish - even unguarded fry (e.g. guppies etc) and I've even seen them back off from food if there are fry near it !!!
Brown Ghosts - well they're completely different. Beautiful, but nasty little bad-tempered antisocial little nippy little bast*rds !!

I did have 2 BGK's in a 20g (temp) and they did get pissy with each other, but i soon got them moved to a 55g and a 45g but yes, other than that ive had no problems. I have a skull in my 55 and he 'lays' in the eye socket, makes me think he is dead at times.
