Better in so many ways..... Fraction of the maintainance, lower cost, no worries about them getting sick, no rediculous tanks, filtration, UV, hundreds of dollars of meds on hand, no worries about them getting along, or stressing eachother out, no need to deal with shiesty, greedy, undermining crooks to obtain them. So much more entertaining to feed.
My only complaint is the real toothy ones are non existant in the hobby and if they do become available they're so rediculously priced that it's flat out commical......
I really wish I would have never sold my enormous Yellowmouth....... IF I knew I was gonna end up keeping Mr. Nibbelz, and eventually getting him some friends I would have never sold it.
