Anyone mess with these guys before?....Can they be kept in tanks?.....

They sure look cool.

I had one, they are hard to feed.

unfortunately for me, when the employee at the Fish store tried to catch it he smashed it and it died about 2 weeks after I got it.

Oh ya, you probably should not touch them.

These fish would probably prefer a more brackish inviroment. Here are a few sites with a bit of info on care.
