Hi,
I have read in latest Tanganika Magazyn (Polish magazine on Tanganyikan fish) that they should be kept as agroup of at least 10 specimens. Reason for that is the fact, when some fish pair up, their aggression is spred over more unpaired specimens. According to the author's observation in smaller group territorial couples would even kill subdominant fish. 180Liter tank would be sufficient - but better wait for what experts say.
