can they be kept in room temp water?

do they need any filtration, or if so will a sponge filter be ok?

what do they eat?

After assuming they do better in cooler water, it seems they prefer a temperature of about 25-26C.
They do require filtration and plenty of oxygen. I'm not overly familiar with the sponge filters, so can't comment on them.
They will eat algae but provide them with algae wafers, flake, sinking pellets and vegetables.
