Yeah I have read that DP need 3 gal to themselves.

Also read that DP get along with otto's and 50% of the time with shrimp. I just dont know the bio-load of them.

So I have cycled my 20 gal tank and I am going to get some DP's for my tank. So I have a question on stocking. I want to start with 3 DP's and some ghost shrimp and eventually more DP and maybe an otto or two. I cannot have more than 6 DP's in this tank (dont think I will go that high) but how many ...

I am setting up a 20 gal long DP tank. My last water test I noticed my water is reading soft (on the Quick Dip Jungle Labs water test). Is that going to be ok for DP's? Some books I have mention that South Asia water is very soft so I am wondering if this is the same native water as DP's? Any though...
