I have a few M.iheringi. They don't need a school/shoal as corys do, but I'd say they would be happier if they had a couple of friends swimming around.
And as a matter of interest, how much can you pick them up for in the us? because they (like all other south american fish) are expensive in NZ

They're 4.39 at my local petsmart, 22.

And mine weren't all that social. 2 of the 3 I had died, the one I still have hides and only comes out at night.

Listen! Do you smell that?
