Hmm thought someone would have replied to this thread by now. There is a few around in Oz now and I've been lucky enough to have kept both adults and juvies of the species. They are definately one of my favourite Ls because of there striking colours ( I also love the fact they get bigger than a lot of Ls available here)<3
As juvies you will hardly ever see them in a tank with too many places for them to hide, but I suppose thats how they like it and makes them feel comfortable.
As they put on some size you will see them out and about more often and I've had atleast one adult that would often come out thru the day for a look around too.
There is sometimes aggression between males( I think they are males ) but nothing too nasty as the smaller one usually gives up before too much damage is done. As for eating silicon I really do doubt that but Ive always made sure my tanks for them are full of stuff to do and graze on without resorting to that! LOL
Plenty of air, plenty of current and temps of high 20s will keep em happy.
Good luck and get some if you have not already done so.:yes:
