Sehr schöner und interessanter Fisch war am Anfang ein bißchen schwierig mit der Futterannahme.Am Anfang hat er nur lebende Fische(Gubbys) gefressen.Doch mittlerweile frißt er miesmuscheln und größere Brocken Artemia oder Mysis.Ist sehr gut mit anderen Fischen zu halten.Habe ca.20 kleine chromis und noch andere kleinfische drin hat sie alle in ruhe gelassen.
