Jacknife fish

Anybody know anthing about these fish? I was able to find out they grow about 26cm and that they eat small shirmp, crabs and slugs. Are they hardy, has anyone ever owned one? They have one at Alamo for $50. Looks really cool.

I'm trying to hook us up with the folks in the first link at UTMSI. Maybe we can see if we can get a source of tank raised fish.
