They are really hardy, both on the pH and temperature... pH:6.3 - 8.2, Temp: 70-82. They eat more different kinds of algae than other species. You could feed it sinking pellets too, and it feeds through the detritous. Very tough and resilient, very nice species. Quite easy to breed too.

wow sound pretty good to me
two or three in a 1gal is that too much or just nice?

What are the dimensions?

6, 9, 5 inches tall tank with some small plants in it

I think it would be stretching it at 2 personally. They grow to 1". You have the oto too...

You'll know you have a male and female when she develops eggs on her back legs. This happens after a molt, but I don't know how long it is before you'll be able to notice them.
