Would be awesome if you did something like that though, be nice to have all the information in one spot, rather than good old "wiki" for sub par info half the time

I have started the article In MS Word. Problem is it takes a lot of work.

Hi
I used to have one in my swimming pool when I was a kid, tough animals. It lived in our salt swimming pool for about 18months until my dog got ahold of it when it ventured into the shallows of the water fall.
You actually don't need as large a tank as you probably think, they are fairly sedentary, especially as adults. If you have a 6x2x2 and start with a very young specimen, my guess is you will either sell it or it will die before it outgrows the tank. That is not a crack at you, or being morbid, that is often just how fish keeping is. But like always it is best to prepare for the eventual adult size right off the bat.
I've had a fair few of them over the years. Some have been great aquarium residents others not so much. Two in particular would latch onto fish at night time and twist like a croc, would leave some pretty nasty injuries on their victims. Not all are like this, and these two individuals will probably be in the minority.
They are easy to care for. Provide some good cover for them, provide meaty foods with good filtration and you will have few issues.
Cheers,
Alex
