Dwarf Lions

Are these guys easy to care for? I've heard conflicting stories about them. On most sites they say they are easy/beginner, but I've heard they are really sensitive and can be difficult.

I just saw a Fu Manchu today at a local LFS. What's the smallest size tank you would put him in?

For a fu manchu I'd think a 30 gallon would be nice.
