I got 3 of these fish to start with, then was lucky enough to aquire
another 3. I have a nice group of 6 now, all seem to have settled
in well and have coloured up nicely.
Here's a few pics of the Denisonii ...

I have seen no signs of aggression from mine at all.

Nope, peaceful as can be. Nervous though, from the keepers ive talked to.

Mine are not skittish at all compared to say my Bala Sharks,
but maybe having them in a tank right next to my pc helps
as they are used to seeing plenty of me.
I can put my finger on the glass and they will come right
up to investigate.

Could be, i was talking about fish getting used to people in another post just recently. Fisha's seemed to be skittish about the lights going on/off if i remember correctly. But then again being near the pc will probably help that as well

Having the tank right next you definately puts your fish at ease and
makes it easier to interact with them, in some of my other tanks the fish
are not as interactive, my Blue Botias for instance dive for cover
every time some one passes the tank and like I mentioned my Balas
don't like sudden noise or movement either.

I find the same, my tanks are always in my livingroom where i usually am and company always is, and it makes a huge difference in shyness and how the react to noise/attention IMO

Get pics, I have 12 in my 180 gallon and find they a joy. They are not skittish at all but I have a heavily stocked tank with full grown SAE's, Giant Danios and Congo Tetras and they are as peaceful as a fish could come.

That sounds like a great group Michael, I hope to add a few more to
the 6 I have.
Have you got any pics of them?
