Comments
M.G. Cantero	I have kept this fish for several years and have put him with fish such as: Scats, Mono Argentus, Mono Sebae, Shark Cats, Fire Eel, Green/Gold Severum, and the Silver Dollar. Although, most books will tell you to keep this fish by itself, I have found that it will do well with other fish on occassion. It all depends on the fish. PLEASE DO CONSIDER if you are going to keep this fish with other fish that you observe them closely. Do not just put this fish in the tank and assume it will do ok.
