Larger members of the Hapl(jchilus family. While not attacking other aqua- 

 rium fishes for the pleasure of fighting, they are not to be trusted with smaller 

 specimens, which might be swallowed. They are inveterate leapers. Considered 

 to be among the handsomest of dijmesticated fishes. Breeding hal)its, page 257.
