Any experience with P. chinensis?

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could give me any care tips/info for P. chinesis. I've had difficulty finding information regarding this species online.

They spend most of their time under water. I'd use a ten gallon or larger tank, fill to about half the height with water, include a large wooden branch to provide hiding places under water and an island above water. Include some water plants for even more cover.
Filter and screen lid.

They eat chopped up nightcrawlers, live wax worms, black worms etc., frozen bloodworms and might eat Reptomin sticks or freeze dried food, too.

Thanks!

What about their disposition? Are they often hiding and/or nocturnal? I am also considering T. granulosa, but my tank may not have enough land in it...
