Will these fish be anymore active with increased numbers? If I bought two or three SRC, will they be more active than if I just bought one?

A few years ago maybe like ten years. I had 3 of these in my 125 planted tank. I never saw these guys out and thought at one point they had died. Well I gave that tank and its fish away to a friend of mine before I move into my new place. He still has all 3 of them and they still hide all the time. I love the fish. I would buy more, but I would not expect to see them every day unless they did not have many hiding places in the tank.
Those guys are pretty much awesome. My bro has one and it looks like a bowling ball. Hes had is for several years and it lives with Pbass and bunch of others. Get one they're awesome
Very boring. I thought mine already died until I saw him several months later after buying him.
Yes, in groups of five or more they are more active. As in you might see one of them fleeing across the tank once a week to find a new hidey. I trained mine to eat out of a feeding tube and they (two of the five, actually) would chase it around the tank sticking their heads in it.
Usually more like seven or eight inches, but best to plan for bigger for sure!
They might be boring, but just knowing you've got this:
lurking under the decor is enough to keep that blood hot, isn't it?
Have you considered amblydoras nauticus? Stay smaller but come out all day!
