Should I get l178?

[yayfish24]

There's a bunch of these at my LFS. I'm really tempted to get a few. I've never seen any lasiancistrus in my area. Can anyone give me some more details about the species?

Yes, great fun fish.

How should their tank be setup? I'll probably quarantine them for a few weeks in my 20 gallon then move them to a 65. What temperature do they prefer? There wasn't much on the cat-elog for them.

Warm water, well oxygenated, use rounded stones and don't bother with plants. It's fairly omnivorous but should be offered a fair bit of veg in its diet. A group is nice, they're not too territorial, but make sure they all have lots of hiding places in rocks.
