I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this fish, I noticed them at the lfs a while ago. Would one or more do well in a 29 gallon? It currently has 4 zebra danios, 3-4 ghost shrimp and 3 cories, which could be put in my other tank or I could finally setup my 10 gallon again. If it would work in a 29 would be some good tank mates and food source?

What does that mean, Bob? "Till the cows come home." Where have the cows been?

To quote the profile on this site:

Temperament: Predatory; Can be aggressive toward conspecifics and other territorial fish. However, with a rather inactive lifestyle often situated in planted or corner sections of the tank, it rarely causes trouble.
Diet: Carnivore; Live foods such as small fish, worms, ghost shrimp. Has been known to accept carnivore diet dry foods, but rarely does so.
Care: Originates from brackish water but can be adapted to a fresh water environment with gradual acclimation. Provide plenty of high foliage for it to reside near. Keep with fish at least 2/3 of its size to prevent predation.

The fact that it easly grows to nearly six inches would indicate that this is probably not a good fish for your tank.

Good luck
