It will be hard to give you a straight answer without replies to each of these questions. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir!

houston Fish Guru You want what when?

For breeding purposes, you could try three males and a female or four males with two females; I wouldn't go with more than six or seven fish total.

Maybe you can have 5 or 6 but you must keep the tank clean with weekly water changes. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Another option , if you can fit a larger tank, is to use an AG 33 gal. I think they still make them. They have a lot of surface area- width and length, but are not deep- perfect if you just want to keep bottom dwellers.
