Anableps anableps

So from searching through the internet I came across a very interesting livebearer named Anableps anableps, aka the four eyed fish, and was just wondering if the many of you have ever had any experiences with this unique creature?

Whenever i see them in a public aquarium, I have to stop and watch. They are fascinating. I know some hobbyists keep them, but they behave like they need huge tanks - thousands of gallons. I really like them, but I don't think you'd see anything of their behavior in the kind of tanks we have at home.
