Hey Guys
Recently discovered this species through a friend and now fairly interested! Wanted to have recommendations on a small specie and relatively small tank if may?

The two species have been looking at is the orientalis and bleheri. Quite fancy a subtropical tank (which would be bleheri?) but orientalis may be better for beginner?

What size tank am I looking at for both? (I work in litres and US gallons if that helps!). Have read the pinned articles but opinions, thoughts, etc would be appreciated.

Plus there is no rushing in, no tank currently would set up species only likely. How do they do by themselves? (as in one in a tank, most liekly would prefer two but unsure on adult behaviour)
 
HI,

yes bleheri are subtropical, minimum tanksize I would take was 120l, a "normal" 80cm tank. Better a 200Litre, one meter tank.
Same for the tropical orentalis

Cheers.
