I had one years ago, really a great fish. If your lucky he might make the barking noise. 
Had a Chaca Chaca, DO NOT MIX IT WITH ANY OTHER FISH! I figured it would be able to go in with my Tetradon Suvatti A/K/A Arrowhead Puffer. BIG MISTAKE. Arrow head took a big bite out of him. It was in a divided tank. Chaca can release a TOXIC Toxin and caused me to loose several hundred dollars worth of fish on other side of devider. Lost 6 exotic L type plecos, 1 datnoid, 1 baby flagtail and a bunch others. Even arrowhead got very sick, eyes were fogged, was able to save him. Maybe this would never happen to anyone else, but I just want to warn about what happen to me, so it doesn't happen to anyone else.
I read the other day they can effect the PH of the water by releasing acids.
They can quickly drop the PH below 6 in a confined home aquarium, but frequent water changes can *usually* prevent the PH crash.
My LFS has one also, about 5" and although they're up high on my wishlist they are to risky for me.

As crazy as I am about fish.. I have never seen that type of fish anywhere around at my lfs or have even heard about it. Are they somewhat rare?
