I've heard they are rather peaceful and I've also heard they can be quite aggressive so judging from that I'd say it's quite possible that their temperament can very a lot. this will also depend on tank size, tankmates, at what age/size they were introduced together and/or with other fish, etc.

Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004	In my experience with various batches, I've come to the conclusion that they are, as with many bottom bwelling riverines, semi aggressive, with some exceptions, but I would maintain that the tinatis were always a good deal more chasey than any blockhead I've had the opportunity to raise.
