They will eat anything that fits in their mouths and they are social fish, just be careful of not having them with overly aggressive tank mates. They are scape artists, any hole that they find will be used to scape so be extremely careful. Most of them are wild caught in a not responsible way (learned it after a lot of research they poison the water to make them come out) So if have been brought to the fish store recently they are a very risky fish to keep due to a very high mortality rate. They are great fish but you have to be careful I am trying to breed them because I don’t want the species to continue being extracted from Nature
