i bought a 55G tank with 3 fish in it. 1 pink kissing grourami, 1 tiger barb and this unknown king,for me. this fish is hiding under my decors all the time and when its feeding time get in to fight with my pink grourami. I am not sure if they were suppose to be in the same tank. i will appriciate any comments. thank you

I'm not sure. I'd lean more towards semi aggresive but can be very aggresive at times. It doesn't like having other of it's species so it's a good solitary fish. Also, I think they eat plants. And also, the common name is Banded Lepronus

Banded leporinus I think. They get pretty large (12in) and can get pretty mean, nipping the fins of other fish. As for the lone tiger barb, you might want to get a couple more; tiger barbs like company.

Leporinus are downright nasty buggers, grow to a fair size, and make relatively good tankmates for larger, aggressive cichlids.
