    Bought these fishes about a month ago they were listed as M. naponis.

    Has anyone had any experience with this fish and is the ID correct? From what I've learnt from them, they're quite aggressive and will eat anything. They are being kept at pH 6.5, temp 78f, GH 4.

    Any other info will be appreciated.

    They have got a decent pair of gnashers but according to www.Fishbase.org, they only grow to 50mm. However, as you can see, they have some muscle.
