Hi-fin loach/ chinese banded shark

http://www.aqua-fish.net/show.php?h=chinesebandedshark

This webside claim that these loach grow to 1m! at my LFS they sell for only 10$ and they are pretty fun. I wonder if there a way to keep them not to big because 1M is BIG

Do you guys think that I could keep one in the 150G that i have

This is one of those fish fish I wish LFS wouldn't even sell. They can live 20-25 years under optimal conditions and can get to three ft. Many people claim they can be kept in aquaria because they either get stunted or die before their mature size is reached.
So I agree... No they shouldn't be kept in a 150g tank.
there are lots of really cool fish you could put in that tank though
