Highly aggressive, they have known to bite divers who approach them. They make excellent aquarium fish, but chose tankmates carefully. While juveniles may pick on newly introduced tankmates or smaller fishes, larger specimens should only be housed with other large fish capable of holding their own with bold tankmates. This fish is often shy when initially introduced to the aquarium, hiding in preferred shelter site when you first enter the room. But, with time many specimens will begin to associate their caretaker with food, it will welcome your arrival and swim near the water's surface waiting for a tasty morsel. It is also notorious for rearranging the décor of the aquarium, and makes an interesting pet that can thrive for years in the aquarium.
