I have a south american lung who ive had from a 6-8" black with yellow spot juvie now just over a year and a half and is now 28" long. Not sure about lifespan out side of what you have already read, but no real world experience seeing as he/she is still alive and the only one I've ever had. As far as temperament hasn't killed anything yet. Mistakingly bit my Oscars fin during feeding time cause the oscar was trying to bully him out of the way. Tried to rip the mystery snails of the tank wall but fails every time. Only living thing it's successfully killed was earthworms but they were drowning so not very impressive. What ever you do keep Kim with be careful for them biting the legs. I've heard of other fish sucking the slime coat but never experienced it with my pleco. Currently housed in a 150 and i suspect i will be upgrading at least to a 240 by next year if not sooner. Id probably shoot for over 300 though. Ps tank sizes indicated are with a small comunity
just got confirmation that SALs can live 20+ years, even when not on the best diet.
