I have had good luck with BPTs. Get one from a good supplier that is net caught - this seems to be a key. Some do well and then just die and are likely are result of poor collection, or collection with a chemical.
They grow very fast until they hit about 4-5" and then slow down.
People say that they are ich magnets, but none of mine have ever had ich. They are probably less tolerant to bad hobbists than other fish, but fish don't choose their owners.
If you keep them well fed, then they are usually very tolerant of other fish. They are as agressive as they come if they sense the other fish as competition for resources (tank space, food, etc.).
I feed mine nori, spectrum pellets, mysis, forumla II pellets and some flake.
You should plan on a reasonable QT period for the fish.
