Anyone know how this differs from A. torosus (other than what river it lives in)?

Aguarunichthys tocantinsensis has a deeper body, larger eye, more gill rakers, and more spots on the body than A. torosus.

Aguarunichthys tocantinensis, as its name implies, comes from the Tocantins River in Brazil.

There are actually two species from Brazil: A. tocantinensis and A. inpai.

how big do these get?

About 30-40 cm.

Keepable at home or one of those "red tail experiences"?

Yes, but they prefer a current as they are found in faster-flowing stretches of rivers.
