If I had to guess, I'd say they claim it as difficult due to the feeding requirments of this particular specimen. But for some reason I don't find putting phyto and filter feeding foods in my tank difficult at all. As long as water quality is optimal with minimal parameter flucutations and you feed to suite his needs, I see no reason not to try one. If they are going strictly off statistics here, than yeah they'll seem difficult. The majoirty of hobbyist are not "expert" class by any means and alot are more impulse shoppers than anything, so naturally alot of failures on the market.
