If by these you mean the wood cat, Auchenipterichthys coracoideus.

As far as breeding goes they are said to be a livebearing catfish that fertilizes the eggs internally. Apparently you can tell the difference between male and female in a simillar fashion to a livebearer, look for the gonopodium which would tell you it is a male.

Reallllyy.. that is interesting.. I've got 2 of them and I think they're wicked cool. Fast growers. Breeding might be fun.

At a guess I would say something along the lines of a 15-20G tank, conditioned feeding (nothing for a couple of weeks then lots of bloodworm) along with frequent water changes to simulate the rainy season (temperature drop and slight pH change?)

Not sure at all thuogh..
