Just bought a prpl psuedochromas- Who has kept these?

[fishkiller]

I think I spelled it wrong, but that is ok. I'm an idiot. So I just bought one of these guys. Heard they like to bother other fish, especially gobies. He seems to be getting along nicely so far. He has learned to keep his distange from the CBS and the Yellow Watchman. My Coral Beauty is chasing him a little though. I hope he'll stop w/ the drama, cuz I love them both. I need info from anybody who has experience w/ these fish. Thanx!

Gave you my two cents.

I kept one in my 55 once, he found a nice place to sleep, there seemed to be a hole in a rock that he just loved to hide in, sleep in and dart in and out of. Now once this place was established he would let any other fish know that it was his up to and including ramming the other fish if they got to close to his home. He became a rather fiesty fish. Some one got even with him once and I found him with this fins all frayed and split, he healed nicely after that and all was at peace again. He ate flake food really well and accepted the frozen with ease. Always thought he was a rather stunning fish to have.

I've never seen mine pick on my yellow watchman. When I first put in a emerald mythax crab he nipped the crab once though! Fortunately, whenever he gets to fiesty during feeding time and tries to hog the food. My coral beauty chases him around the tank for a moment.

Yeah, he is realizing his place in the pecking order. When he starts eating everyone's food, my yellow watchman flares up his gills, and his head gets huge. He needs a valume. So I have to sneak the others some food.

I had one come in as a hitch hiker. I guess it got spooked and ducked in the rock that I picked out. It never bothered any one.
Then it disappeard just as fast that it came. Never did find a body.

They might go after others, those fish are known shrimp and bristle worm hunters and they may not.
