We had one in the 55 for all of 2 hours before my eel destroyed it.
 they are very cool and would do nicely in a 75 IMO with the right tank mates

I had one. Great color beautiful fish very shy and first hides in rocks caves and stays there even when people come up to the tank. I'm sure once it gets used to everything he'll come out that's if he hasn't jumped out and committed suicide yet they love to jump good luck

Yeah so was mine he managed to jump just right and squeezed out of my mesh screen and come out from the opening on the back of the canopy. Perfect jump I guess

Have you ever wondered what was going through a fish's head when they thought it would be a good idea to see what is outside of the tank, lol.
