Thanks guys!
These fellas can grow big and initially, I was worried about compatibility. However, they are very peaceful creatures and only hangs around the filter output. Great companions in the community tanks.

how big do they grow?
I used to have two specimen that's about 15 cm (6 inches) long and I have seen other species even larger than that. However, they are picky eater and sometime can be hard to keep alive. So far, mine have been with me for quite a while. But I would recommended them only in planted aquaria and if you don't have large fishes that will be playful enough to make a meal out of their "fans" when they feeds.
