I have the striped variety of this fish and it is a great fish.
I bought the fish about 5 years ago and never saw him. Then I added bogwood and floating plants to dim the light and he comes out a lot more and I was surprised how big he got (5/6 inches). Doesn't bother any other fish and they don't both him. He's one of the fish you look foward to seeing as you don't see him very often. Never heard him make much noise though.
