Nannoptopoma sp. PERU

Recently I saw these in a Danish shop at very high prices.

They have since been imported in larger quantities and the price is more affordable.

I have not been able to find much info on these fish, so if anyone have an idea of max. size and other relevant info it would be more than welcome.

Also, does anyone have info on breeding Nannoptopoma species?

Pic of the fish can be found here: http://www.akvariewest.dk/Fisk_prisliste_Maller.html

The hypnotoad is not best pleased with news of these fish dying in transit.
