I'm tring to figure out what fish I want to get and if they can live comfortably together. Does anyone have this fish and offer any first hand advise?

I have one of these fish and it does great in my tank. Its tank mates are a G.S. Maroon clown and a Copper banded butterfly.
They do tend to eat pods and such and can be a lil aggressive. Although this was the first addition to my tank, he has never really picked on anything.....
By the way, all visitors to my tank like the "little purple fish"the most..
