Apparently this fish makes a great Dither Fish which it seems my CTs need. A Dither Fish is typically used with Cichlids. Its purpose is to calm the nerves of nervous fish, to make the tank seem more comfortable. Dither fish are typically always schoolers and are movers and shakers not hiders and darters!
