Wow oddly enough I was thinking of getting two to add with my (what I once thought was a jurupari) lucostica also. Can't really help you out here but they do look good, pbass like coloring almost if you ask me.
From what I've read , care is similar to Jurupari and Leucosticta. Big frequent water changes are supposed to be very benificial to them cause they're supposed to be a bit on the sensitive side. I can't comment much further since I've never kept them .
I have never kept them due to all the information I've found on them says they are very delicate. Unlike jurupari which can do well in nuetral PH, daemons require a low PH around 4.5 to thrive. Most people cannot provide this and they generally seem to do poorly because of it.
I have had them with Jurapari in neutual water without any promblems. Mine were tank raised though. I would watch the Leucostica though as the ones I had were kind of rough on the dameons and Jurapari I had. Kind of like geophagus brasiliensis.
