    You can keep it with fish and they are alright? That is really cool.

    Keeping them with fish is either hit or miss. This one was housed with a goldfish for the longest time, I figured this one would be a hit. I deliberately housed him with some small fast moving fish. So far so good!

    They're pretty rare here in the United States, and when you do find one, expect to pay a pretty penny. I was fortunate in that a mom and pop pet store in my area was going out of business and had this available. They actually had 2 of them. One went to Sea World, and I got the other one! :D Here's a couple of new pics!
