anybody kept a crystal eye catfish?

anyone? they're also called a black devil catfish but I wasnt sure which name to use. Anyway, can you tell me a little about them? The profile didnt help much. What and how much should I feed them? What species' can you keep w/ them? What is their growth rate? Their temperment? Anything special I should know when keeping one? Habitat? Thanx

PS - I was planning on keeping a lima shovelnose w/ him. Would it work?

You e-mailed me this question i think. Only had chance to read, but not respond. Are you talking about a Mystus Wyckii? If that's the case, then I wouldn't chance another smaller catfish.

They are rare. The people that say they are common are probably thinking of H. wyckioides(Asian redtail catfish). 6" specimen go for about $120. I have a huge 18"-20" specimen for sale. It is the same one shown in the pic in that Planet Catfish article. If you are anywhere near the Detroit area and want to buy it let me know.
