He was notable for chasing down passing cars and nipping at their wheels. Good tankmates include non-fin nipping tetras, non-fin nipping barbs, corydoras, platys and other gouramis. They are also territorial, nipping, chasing, and otherwise harassing fish that get in their way. At certain intervals, the female cichlid stops fanning the eggs and begins nipping at them.

Nevertheless, nipping will cause the coral to retract and eventually die from the stress.
