Ive got two in a tank by them self. definitely not my favorite fish. I have to leave the lights off and gingerly walk by the tank or they'll go into panic mode and smash themselves. Do any of the people that keep them have this problem.
 
My grass pickerel was like that when I first got him, but he calmed down after a while. It helps to have plenty of cover, especially plants.
 
mine will get spooked on occasion.
usually it happens when the room is dark, and then i walk right past the tank, they flip out a little bit
