I've read a lot of bad things about them, but luckily I must have a mellow one. He's HUGE with a 5 inch "wingspan". He mostly comes out at night. My bicolor dotyback loves to tease him. He tries to grab the fish but is way too slow. Hopefully he stays tame. Maybe it's the fact that I hand-feed shrimp and silversides every other day.

well i have one in my tank and it has eaten three of my small fish(pink bar,highfin gobi, and a catalina).need to say these fish were only about an inch long. it does not go after any other of my fish. so i have learned not to put that small of fish in the tank.

As stated above, mine was always too slow to catch any of my fish.......but he did murder 2 of my cleaner shrimp after he got larger. Needless to say he went back to the LFS.
Good Luck Mike |

mine is more fun to watch then my fish. I have him in a 10 with a clownfish and they are always bickering. I like him better then the clownfish because he dosnt bite my hand!
