I've kept them.
They were in a community tank, very peaceful, very good at eating snails.
Did not come out much, but beautiful to look at when they did.

What other fish were you keeping with them?

Thanks

I can not remember exactly
I do remember I had bristlenose, SAE and Otos along the bottom with them and they used to happily ignore each other.
Mid and upper ground are where I am hazy... It would have been something along the lines of guppies, tetras, dwarf cichlids (rams or apistos agasizzi\cacatuoides) lampeyes, celestial pearl danios. That kind of thing, standard community fare. Maybe a couple of amanos.
