Footprint is more important for these guys. They are constantly moving and typically bump into the walls if spooked. They are a very skittish fish and are more comfortable in groups of 6 or more.
Ps. I’m sure you know this, but cycled media or substrate is more important than cycled water. The beneficial bacteria is on the surfaces rather than in the water itself. You can always add extra bacteria to your filter media as well.
Good luck with these guys. Please share photos.
