easy to take care of them. as an infant just give them wax worms, meal worms, as they grow give him some pieces of chicken heart( cut it to fit his mouth. avoid at all costs blood worms. they move to the bottom of the gravel and become a health hazard for the little fella. ph around 6.5 to 7.0 should be fine, 71 to 80 degrees should be fine for water temp. good luck

Macat33, there is info in Cat-eLog as Silurus said and Giuliano offered his experience. It's not often that people would give you a written lecture on any particular fish based on one line inquiry. There are links in the Cat-elog entry for you fish (Leiarius marmoratus) to the FishBase and others. There is google too.

Try asking a specific question, if you will. Here is some info that I wrote about your fish replying to someone else:
