Here is a page with some information about them.

I've served my time in Hell."

They are both extremely nocturnal (meaning you will go months without seeing them), and will eat small tankmates. The spotted grows to about 6", while the striped about 7". The genus of the striped raphael is Platydoras, which is where the whole "dora" thing must have come in. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

You can then use these to search more info on the internet. In see them often in the shops but never bought so I can't give you any personal opinions. Good luck!
