I have one also. I have had mine about a year or so. He's a great fish with lots of character. Seems to be a fast grower too. Mine is about 3 1/2" long. I think he has grown 2" in the last year. (Thats him in my shroom in my avatar) He likes to perch on everything. He's a little on the aggressive side though. He has bit me on several occasions. He doesn't mess with my clown though. He is also a pig. One night I watched him get stung while he was trying to steal food from my BTA.
He sure did a number on my algae too!!

Took a better picture of him today. He is a little shy, but is grazing constantly on the LR when I stand back a bit and watch.

I have an update on mine.
He's about to leave the tank!!! I think in the last week, he has BIT ME 3 TIMES!!! Not that it hurts, but it scares the crap out of me and I end up jerking my hand and splashing water all down the front of my tank.
I don't know why he has gotten so aggressive lately. He leaves my Perc alone.
Maybe he's just trying to tell me to keep my hands out of the tank!!!
