oh no! I am immediately running out to grab 7 more!:neutral:

I hope that's not the case. I did a lot of research, and even started a thread on tank size and who has had success with certain numbers. It basically came down to having 8 or more in a 200 gallon plus tank, or going with a trio in something smaller....but only time will tell

I tried 5 to start with in my 105gal and have only 1 left and sadly they killed the others off quite quickly in my case. But as you know fish are all different and you may have better luck.
