They can be kept in any size tank as far as params keep them normal. I keep mine in a ten gal with the temp at 78 filled with tap water and they breed like convicts.

eight,three male five female. they are only a couple of inches, but Iwillsoon be moving them to a larger community tank with rams and apistos

so do you think a planted 10 gallon would be good for a pair (one male and one female) and any fry they might have? do they protect fry like a cichlid or should eggs be removed ASAP?

planted tank is fine. they need small caves try three to four inch sections of half inch to 3/4 inch pvc for them to spawn in. you will need to remove the eggs or the female will be taken as a threat and the male will kill her. the pvc will make it easier to remove them to anther tank
