Community with caution.
The Reedfish can be a great fun addition to a large community aquarium. They do not pester other fish (providing they are not small enough to be eaten). They will grow quite large and do need plenty of hiding places. They are also mainly nocturnal so artificial lighting should not be too bright if you want then to be active at other times.
