your tank is WAY to small. they are also known for emitting a toxin when stressed or dying that can wipe out an entire tank.

I almost got convinced to buy one when I was just starting in the hobby. I'm glad I decided not to get it. While it was a really cool fish, they are difficult for the reasons Bobby mentioned.
