albino sucking loach

anyone know anything about these? i've googled it and came up with very little!!

some say it isn't even a loach but a cyprinid?!
some say they get big, some say they dont.
some say they are aggressive (mine so far isn't bothering my tetras at all), some say they're not.
some say they'll eat snails....mine doesn't(if only!)!!
some say they're really tough, mine has bright red slightly swollen gills with quite low ammonia levels (0.25).

so any opinions, thoughts, info, links etc etc would be most welcome!!! many thanks ??? anyone else have one of these? if so, what tank mates does it have?
