Just be aware they get large - i put mine into an aquarium that is 8ft long and 4ft wide. Obviously they don't need an aquarium that large but a 10 definitely won't do...

Yup.. They'd go in a 6ft 180.. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but they're on my short list... I read they can exhibit conspecific aggression..

Those Planiloricaria cryptodon are kind of weird - they found a spot near the front to settle and just sort of died for the day - the next morning still dead when i put in food - that got their attention and they scurry over and ate gobs and went back to their original spot and just kind of died again.
