He is pretty active. He is always either hanging on his fake ''host'', or zooming around the tank. Remoras have an apatite that would put an oscar to shame.

aha, its the overflow hes hanging on in the picture.
The smoothness somewhat emulates a fish, and the powerhead in his face simulates the water drag from something swimming.

No, as far as I know, I am one of the only/few people with one in captivity. Which is probably a good thing, as not many people can/should have a 4 foot open water fish that host on larger animals.
