Got this fish for my 100-gallon tank. It’s active and territorial, so I made sure to keep it with larger, non-aggressive fish. It’s not a beginner-friendly pet, but once you understand its needs, it’s a striking addition to the tank.

The fish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. I’ve noticed it’s quite dominant and doesn’t tolerate other small fish well. I’ve had to remove a few tank mates after a few weeks.

After reading the care notes, I gave it a 75-gallon tank with plenty of hiding spots. It’s been thriving and adds a lot of visual interest. Just be prepared for some aggression during feeding times.
