I'm off to PlanetCatfish to check them out, but can anyone give me some basic info? Size, diet, territorial or no, slime suckers?

An Awesome species if you can get your hands on them. Their colouring is absolutely fantastic!

There isn't a great deal known about them so you should just really treat them the same as any other plec. They prefer finer substrate and can reach up to 25cm. They will enjoy vegitables such as cucumber or potato in their diet along with the usual catfish pellets.

Apparently they can be more aggressive as they become larger, so make sure your tank is plenty big enough (50G +) to allow for this.

Ya, their colour is quite magnificent. I guess I won't be getting one, as the largest I have is a 45 gallon...
