I kept them years ago. I think that I had hillstream loaches with them without incident but didn't try any other fish. Mine were easy to feed. They ate small snails, frozen blood worms and live brine shrimp.

I had them in a species only tank. 3 per 25L works pretty well aslong as you have plenty of plant cover!

They have teeth, so keeping them with anything else is always a huge risk, no matter how many people say they're ok for communities.
I'd bet (if I were a betting man, which I'm not) that they get problems they can't account for at some stage or other......
You'd need a separate tank to farm snails for them as they need them to keep their teeth from overgrowing (as well as the species only tank for them ).
