Leaf fish

Hello all,
I was really intrigued by the leaf fish I saw at house of tropicals today. But some of the staff were a little unfamiliar with the species.
Can any one give me knowledge on them? I.e.- care, tank size, Appettite, "the usual"
I don't trust too many sites on fish knowledge. (Liveaquaria etc)
Thanks

Ambush predator. They like to lay in wait and eat fish that are small enough to swallow. Really like a tank with leaf litter. Don't move much. Like soft, acid water and temps in the high 70s. Might need to feed live guppies, I've heard they are tough to acclimate to prepared foods.
