A 10 would be the smallest I would use. I have 2 in a 10 and they still get on each others nerves from time to time, but they have enough room to run from each other.

Not to mention 10 gals are normaly cheaper than 5 gals.

Yes, a 10 gallon is best, however they can go in tanks as small as 5 gallons.

I've kept them in a heavily planted 6g. Mine never bother each other; maybe I got lucky with some easy-going fish.

Sorry to go off topic,
Tanks overall in Australia are generally more expensive at smaller sizes because common glass sizes (Like what is used in 10g) is alot more expensive. The $1/g Rule doesnt apply and an Average 2'x10"x12" will retail for approximately $45 Inc. Lid and Foam at most LFS (Around 13g I believe.)

HTH,
-Sutto
