i have successfuly kept these with certain species, but it is usually not reccomended unless you are very familiar with this fish.

yes, this is one of my tanks.
and no worries to put your hand in. they do not attack. only if you pick them up with your hand, then they turn around to bite you. lol

hmm that's interesting (: so they can differentiate between food and non-food.. cool!

no, i think its just the size difference that scares them. much like you would not choose to fight a man who is 9 feet tall and 500 lbs. lol. anything small that i drop into the tank is as good as gone, but when i reach an arm in the tank to clean it, they just move to the opposite side of the tank until im finished cleaning.
i remember when i got my first batch of 10, i would stick the tip of my finger in the tank to see if they would go after it, and they did. but i have domesticated them a lot since bringing them in. i do not use live feeders for any of my fish, and these have been on a staple diet of prepared foods. even MP i usually only feed as a treat.
