Pseudochromis porphyreus

How bad are these guys in real life as far as being aggressive to other fish?

I've heard they can be pretty aggressive and putting a fish in a small tank can exasperate the situation. Have you considered a fridmani instead. Most are tank raised and quite peaceful. I have been happy with mine.

In a nano you would be lucky to keep another fish with that pseudo, they are very nasty little fish.

Not in any nano. They are pretty bad [profanity]. They are nice but aggrasive and bully fish much larger than themselves.
