If you do a forum search, you'll find a few discussions about them, but not a whole lot.

As fo "how to treat them", I'd use the combined knowledge of and as "base-points" for husbandry, and then observe and try to figure out what changes you need to do to make them happy (if any).


Again, for breeding, both P. vittata and L134 are close relatives, so that's a good place to start.
