I would have thought it should work with a good water change regime. 15 UK is 18US gallons so its just under the recommended 20G for 2 Irrubesco's
I could be wrong though.

They are best kept in pairs, according to Dr Ebert.

Do you have a spare tank to move one in to, in case they don't get along?
