Hi,,mm well It depends on your budget and if you have the proper space por this Hypostomus (ex-cochliodon). How large is your tank?

Regards.

Nice fish!

I'd go for it if you like the fish just because you may never see another in your country, at least not for a long time anyway..

I only hope my little guy grows up to look that good!

How come? I wouldnt call it common here but its a regular import...dont see why it shouldnt be in other countries...

Well I'll admit I'm just guessing, due to conversations we've had on piranha-cove.com about the difficulty in getting anything but farmed redbellies there..

Germany is a great place to find weird fishes, I don't know about Israel, but there's quite a difference between German stores and Spanish ones.
