SA Leaf Fish

Has anyone successfully kept groups of these cool fish the South American Leaf Fish?
I was thinking from past experience they are harder than discus to keep long term?

Main issue is food. Someone I know only had luck with feeders.

Had a few years ago. Had them for over a year. It was in a semi planted tank and on live feeders. Mine died from the feeders. Never proved but I’m sure from that.

Yes I live close to a big fish farm and they always have very healthy feeders.
Also I was thinking about tying silversides to a powerhead but I do remember they were really finicky eaters back in the day.
I just love them no doubt one of my top favorites but would hate to have a group die on me. I am trying to have will power on an impulse buy on a tank full of them.
