There is a little info on the species page. Also on fishbase, here http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Siluric ... osoma.html
And in this article http://www.zoologischemededelingen.nl/c ... a01%3A14.6

Hope this helps!

The original description was published about 160 years ago and is brief and uninformative (at least to an aquarist).

The CotM article I wrote on S. indragiriensis pretty much applies to this species also.
