What other fish can you keep with these guys? can you keep smaller types with them or is it best to keep them on there own. Im not looking to get one yet im just wondering thats all

provided you give them a tank of at least 50G, (but the bigger the better) then they should be ok with larger tetras, danios, barbs, swordtails, loach, catfish, plecs, just to name a few.

You'll find the smaller the tank usually the more aggression you will see,

yea, the smaller the tank, the more aggression comes out of them. thats because they HAVE to have a certain amount of terratory ya see and if that terratory consists of just the tank, they'll get annoyed that fish are swimming in their space constantly.

how big is your tank?

if you're wanting to go with other fish to go with it, make sure they are/will be bigger than it.

agree with the above, personally I can't see the attraction in RTBS's but never mind!

Got a decent sized tank 40/50gals and stock it mostly with medium-large fish, don't put too many other bottom swimming fish in there so he can have most of the floor space to himself.
