with water changes it should be fine if your asking about bioload but they do better in groups but do poorly in small numbers mainly 2 the will show aggression to each other and establish domonice over each other so if you had two one would pick on the other group bigger then 2 should spreed aggression

ok Ill get 2 for now and if they start to show agression i will remove one and sell it or possibly give it to a relative with a 125g

my needle fish eats almost anything.I got him and he didnt eat for two weeks but I just threw on the "eat or croak" mentality and now he eats hikari gold,NLS jumbo, krill and cocktail shrimp.

dont let anybody tell you they can't be weened off live I'll even take a video of mine at chow time.
