I had six that I raised up around four years ago. I unfortunately eventually lost them in a variety of ways too strange to explain. They were magnificent specimens and it broke my heart to lose them. About 8 months ago, I decided to give them another go, picking up six more. I have them in with eight Geophagus proximus and a trio of C. panamensis. They're coming along really well. Duane, when you picked yours up, I was inspired to try them again. Thanks for the 'push'. I found that they were relatively peaceful towards one another and their tank mates. When they were fully mature, they went through all the courtship rituals and interactions and no damage ever resulted. They are definitely worth a go. Just make sure that you maintain very good water quality and tank hygiene. Also a good balance of high quality foods. I fed a lot of vegetable based foods (spirulina pellets, peas) Here are some pics of my originals and the 'new kids on the block'.
