I have had them in the past. They are very peaceful, generally don't eat plants, and kinda sensitive to water quality. A large pleco or catfish in the same tank would probably bully them, and they have long trailing fins that picky fish like to chew on. I have seen them offered recently at the local Pet Smart, so I would just check with local pet stores. They are not that uncommon.
I would suggest looking them up on Planet catfish or google them to get a better idea of what they are like...
good luck!
