Experience with Labeo Cyclorhynchus

[jonclark96]

Does anyone have any experience keeping labeo cyclorhynchus? Jeff Rapps has them available on his preorder list and I think they are pretty cool looking fish. Most of the husbandry articles I can find through Google say they are on the aggressive side, especially with conspecifics. I'm just looking to see if anyone has kept them in the past.

If they're any think like black sharks they're mean as f.

Seem to remember that the Malawi exhibit at Disney World has them with hippos and Malawi cichlids... They hang out behind the hippos waiting for their next meal...

A couple of the articles I read said "cichlids may be harassed" by them. If that is truly the case, they are mean little buggers.

I was interested in them for the tank where I keep T. brichardi, but changed my mind after doing some reading. My understanding was that they'd be buttheads to any fish that shares similar hide-out habits.
