For the most part they just stay and hover alot, I'm just wondering if they have aggression I'm not seeing.

That fish must really be a ghost because I can't see anything in that picture

Also, I know you have frontosas. I wouldn't recommend pulsating any other species in that tank.

This is a separate tank btw and sorry for the blurry pic it's from my phone it's the long fish below the filter, I know not to stick anything else in my tank, I think I've learned enough from you guys to come to that conclusion

That's the wife's tank, just gave the last green terror because it was getting too big, to a neighbor with a 90 gal.

Anyway, they swim vertical. That's probably why your not noticing it

I don't ha e experience with them myself but I've read they can be aggressive, which is why I've stayed away from them. I hope some one with more experience will chime in!

They have a loach kind of behavior I guess but the swim oddly like no other fish I've had and I've had these for 3 months and now they are 3.5 inches long

Looked at them several times but was told they won't play nicely with neons.

Hmmm .. well they are in with two electric blue joahana and a blue lobster and so far the haven't touched each other, just the bigger ghost pushing the other out of its territory. I just know very little on these.

What size tank is it in?

I've seen adults on YouTube that make a 75g look tiny....

They are primarily nocturnal and don't like bright lights. Preferring live and frozen foods. Like many monster fish they can eat small fish that will fit in their mouths.

Nice video!

I have one and I love it. No aggression but they will eat smaller fish that fit in their mouths. I had a tube in for mine but he doesn't use it he mostly stays in the dense plant growth I have in the corners of my tank.

They are not supposed to be in with others of their kind. I would not think they would be a good match for any mbuna.

The LFS near my house has one of these guys. He doesn't move. I actually thought he was fake for a few days. Huge fish.
