I caught a few of these over the weekend and kept a few. They seem to be doing alright in my tanks (eating, active, etc), but I'm not finding a lot of information on them aside from generic diet, lifespan and habitat range.

Does anyone have any information/personal experience on keeping these guys in captivity, aside from the generic info google seems to be spitting at me?

Biggest one I caught, about 3")
 
I haven't kept slimies, but I have kept C. carolinae. I had to provide tons of oxygenation and keep the water as clean and cool as possible or they would croak. Be wary of keeping them with other fish; they can swallow fish nearly their own size and are especially fond of darters.
