Yeah this is true. All the other besides the mata will bite and take fish out if there are going to be any in there.

That's funny! The stuff I read online about their care recommended keeping 30-40 feeders in its tank for it. I'm not planning on keeping fish in there really. Thought maybe I'd try a common pleco for algae control and see how that works cause that wouldn't be much of a loss...(I know, cruel, but this is about as cruel as I get!)
 
I kept a royal clown knife fish, FL gar, red bellied pacu, oscar, Peacock bass, and plecos with mine successfully at one point or another.

Linking this thread to non MFKers I know, so far it's 4/4 people saying I should go with the Siebenrock's. People really dig that picture, haha.
 
At this point it is between #1 and #5 pretty much. Siebenrock's or Pink-bellied. Having a really really tough time deciding! The pink-bellies seem perhaps like the best fit, but the Siebenrocks are so unique! And I love oddball animals.
