| − | :No visible differences between male and female fish. In the wild, a single male are usually found with a group of females. | + | |tank_compatibility=:Peaceful towards other tank mates. HOWEVER, not only can this fish be easily startled and injure itself trying to hide, it's also highly toxic, it's skin contains [[ostracitoxin]]. If it gets stressed out or sick it will release a toxin into the water that will kill everything around it, it's perfectly capable of wiping out your entire tank. When introducing this fish, do not let ANY bag water into the tank, and during water changes if the fish needs to be taken out, put it in a container alone. |
