Comments:
Do not keep with flat boddied slow moving fish. They appreciate plants, and caves, but they MUST have a place to hide.
Be carefull of this fishes temper. It can be very mean, and you should only keep one per tank.
Commonly sold, it is usually labeled a "algae eater". These fish are great for brown algae, I bought mine a few days ago, and as soon as it was added to the tank, it started eating the brown algae.
