Anyone owned this catfish before? How was the temperment? Was it pretty hardy? I've read the profile but anymore info would be helpful! I was at the LFS and saw these and thought they looked pretty interesting.

I currently have one in my 55G tank and hes pretty easy going. Hides during the day but is out at night. The only thing that you really have to watch with these guys is small fish, as they will be consumed on its nightly prowls. O, and netting them, when they are threatened they stick out their side fins which has very sharp barbs on them.
