They are night time predators with a surprising capacity to consume fish - anything half its size or less is a potential meal. Tankmates need to be carefully chosen

Ok. Pretty much like my Lophiosilurus alexandri then.
I don't think this gets as huge as the L. alexandri and I think it's already at max size at 8 inch?

A bit more active nocturnally but temperment wise , yes, similar. I couldn't be sure of max size but 8" would be the biggest i know of - maybe steve (the dark one) can say how big his friends is.
As long as tankmates are a good size and swift they should be safe.
