I think when they reach 6-7 inches-out of ignorance I never put salt with my and they did fine (though I wouldn't recommend it) They like to live in groups so 3 or more would be cool and I think a 90 gallon or larger would be great for them long term-never mixed my with Cichlids. My were also very I mean very active swam 24/7!! Oh and they also eat like pigs!
I've tried to keep those little cats 3 or 4 times now, starting with them at all different sizes... and I can not keep them alive. They always start off eating fine, then begin eating less, and finally die... I don't know how to make them last... and have done WAY WAY too much research on the damn little buggers...
I also always have a bit of salt in my tanks, but I did try brackish with a pair once... and it didn't help...
Oh yeah, and these were the only fish I have EVER had issues keeping. (and I have a 4-line cat, raphael, sun cat, and ID shark along with some polypterus and frontosa and a bunch of other cichlids...never had problems)
