As juveniles they are very nice fish. As they mature they start to get darker and a lot more vicious. You will need a huge tank to keep these guys happy (couple hundred gallons).
They are sold in the US in almost every single LFS. This worries me because I know most people don't have big enough tanks, and they also don't know what they are buying.
