i think these fish are awesome and really want to get one eventually , i am not sure if i can safely have one though, i have 20g tank with some gouramis n platies, i hear these get big though and can be agressive when they get larger, however the ones in the store are about an inch n half or so n shoulnt be a prob at the moment, but will it be if the fish gets larger, also can i house one in my tank, i will be getting a bigger tank next yr

I had one when I was a little kid. It grew very fast and ate all my guppies. :) Nice looking fish though, I've always wanted to keep them again.

They get about 4-5" and swim a lot so they do need some room. They aren't aggressive, just hungry. Like most cats, they will eat anything that fits in their mouth. They are more outgoing if you have 3 or more.
