I can give you a few tips ,
most plants will be destroyed , they eat alot , are really messy eaters and require the tank to be cleaned more often, they move objects around , make sure not to attempt to pet it like alot of people tend to do because you may damage the fish's slime coating, and you might not want to use a glass heater because they like to bite and charge so it could potentially shatter it and electrocute itself.

Well dont put them with equal sized green terrors(theyll get owned), good tank size, and a BIG filter
