Thanks for getting back to me. There are so many different kinds it is hard to tell. All I know he is a good tank mate and a fun fish to watch and take care of. He loves his food and from the reading that you provided I will make more closed caves for him. There is a lot of good hiding spots but most have an opening on the front and back. I may close some of them up to make him feel more comfortable.
