I've had these before, I may have a pic so i'll look if you want me to..most likely my cousin who has my old will have like 100 of them so may be able to get him to let me use one.

The one that I had always had "periods". Certain months it was fine and ate well, others it would go crazy and attack everything and have short anorexia spells. lol.

For the tank size I would keep it around 65 gallons. Mine was almost fully grown and it was doing fine, but of course that was only one and the tank was 48 inches long. I would say 80 if you have a group.

These fish are definitely not something you just buy because it's cute and put it into your community, tankmates and all obviously need to be planned a bit before anything. Petsmart usually has these and they are an inch long, very cute but grow fast and can be aggressive at times.

THey also remind me of chickens, my old one used to have a yellow pointy mouth so that's probably why. lol
