An update after 12 years. So I have learned how to keep these little guys.
Most important is that they need a tank with solid dark walls. If not they won't last 24 hours.
Transport should be in a dark bag or bucket.
Other than that they are quite easy and ridiculously aggressive. They will
Kill anything remotely close to them in size and when kept with larger fish they attack the eyes and will eat them or just blind the fish. Not sure. I had one kill at least 20 much larger mullet that were housed with it by taking their eyes. The longest I kept one was two months and let it go when summer ended. The smaller ones do well with live shrimp instead of fish. They also swim in groups and it is really cool
To watch them together . They tolerated poor water quality and tanks as small as a 5 gallon bucket for weeks. The only trick is the black or dark walls to the tank and transport vessel. I'll post pics as soon as I upload.
