Any info on yellow lycopod cusk eel?

[joey74321]

I have a 55 gallon tank with:
Flame Angel
Yellow watchman
2 clownfish
Pygmy filefish
Cardinal fish
Fire fish
Bubble Tip Anemone
Cleaner shrimp
Peppermint shrimp
few hermits and snails
And I have room for one more fish, and saw this in my local fish store, I was searching them online but info is veeeeery limited, so I was wondering if any of you guys know any info on these guys on what they eat, how big they grow, and do they go along with my livestock?

I've never had one but from what I've herd they are hard to get eating and are VERY secretive as you will sometimes only see them a few times in their life.
Cool fish though.

Here are a few links to this fish that you have probably already read.

I was given a trio which came in by mistake once and I would suggest there isn't a great deal of value in this species. I liked that they were live bearers so thought a little breeding project could be fun. However even in a pretty bare tank I never saw them and they didn't eat anything I added (maybe survived on the life in the tank). After a couple of months I passed them on to a seahorse specialist. They went in her tank and were only seen (well one was) four years later when she was moving house.

So to sum it up they may be OK if you have an eye for a fish you will likely never see if given even a little cover but are interesting none the less. If you type in brotulid in the search (which is what I know them as) there is a post on here from may 2011 with someone's experience.
