They're likely to be eaten at some point.

yup; snacks.
even a 1 foot Tigershovel can and does eat adult Corydoras; spines and all.

Marc can you tell all about that one....

Tigershovels are simply too big for the hobby and much too voracious.
If you like Lima shovels; you can easily combine those with Hoplosternum and other medium-big Callichthyds, but no Tigers.
