    OMG! That is one of the cutest little fishies I have ever seen!!! Is he a community type, or aggressive? Does he puff up?

    We called him Maggi, because he is the size of a chicken stock cube, and looks a bit like one too LOL

    Not a fish most people would recommend because he has the ability to release toxins in the water if harassed or killed.

    This one is very calm, non agressive and just buzzes around the tank like a tiny bumble bee.  Fastinating to watch.  He will get bigger eventually and by that time I'll have another species tank set up for him.

    Jason,

    You mean in the tank I already have set up? If so then yes I already have a couple of other fish and I'll post some pictures soon.

    If you mean in a separate tank, then no not yet, but it will be an experience, that's for sure :)

    John
