I have had a pair of orange ones for about two years. They are
easy to care for, a treat to watch and they get along with my
angels,gouramis and catfishes

I have 4. 2 are red bloods and the other 2 are just bloods. I love them. My 2 bloods are about 1 inch and were very shy and never came out until i introduced my 2 2.5 inch red bloods.
They all get along with my other fish in that tank. 3 clown loach, 2 rainbow sharks, 1 golden dojo loach and my hifin pleco.

I have a pair of these guys! They’re so intelligent, and very active. One is about 12 years old, and the other is 5 years old, so they live a very long time. As well, they can be the bullies of the tank, and I would suggest moving the ornaments around in the tank to help stop it.
Be careful of their mouths. Because they’re so strangely shaped and can’t close, it’s harder for them to eat. They suck in their food. I would suggest pellets that sink, so they aren’t sucking in air.
They also are very hardy fish, and I have always kept mine with cichlids. My Jack Dempsey works well with them, but he’s also very relaxed, and calm so it really depends on your fish’s behaviors.
