I saw some of these on a web site and was wondering what they were like to own? So does anyone have own one or know links to sites that give info?

Thx, Curt

From what I know,

Keep only one, no small fish, or they can be eaten.
Not too much surface action with other fish.

Keep a floating plant for it.
Fish will jump.Give it live food with flakes.

My bro-in-law had one, didnt bother anyone really. He had them with fish the same size, and they were middle /bottom of the tank fish

I had them at one point in my life.  I can tell you they will find the smallest crack in you hood and jump out.  Every single one I had jumped to its death.  I gave up.  They stay at the top of the tank all of the time.  But they are neat.
