    want to keep anything also can BUT

    how big is yr tank?

    how many u intended to keep?

    cos those fish can get pretty big & grow fast. Usually they will moves the gravel/pebbles(small 1) at a corner. I used to keep them in a tank with drifwood(for them to hide) with 2-3 inches of very fine sand.

    they can grow to near a palm size for an adult-i even c bigger 1.

    they prefer frozen or live food......

    aiya, just say say only lar. of course not whale.........(wat i meant is anything that yur tank can take)

    I used to keep 8 adults in my 3footer with a lot of driftwoods. looks a bit cramp.

    is yr tank customised?

    y not u try 6 juveniles- at first will look very empty cos they r small & always go into hiding.

    Once get bigger(adult), yr tank will look just nice with the driftwood.
