i wish i can help you find these guys but im like you... dont know where to begin finding them... try your LFS and see if they can special order them for you if they dont have any.... as far as buying a group no need 1 or 2 will be good...
i wouldnt try to keep more then 1 in a tank. these guys get really aggressive to each other.
i heard it is safe to keep either 1 or a group of 6+.

They are grazers of algae that form shoals in the wild which Tems love to eat. Especially during the falling water period in Rio Negro.
As mentioned earlier, they seem to do best when kept singly. In a large enough tank (1000 gal +++), you might be able to successfully keep a school of these fish, but not in your average monster tank.
A couple months back there were several vendors on here that were selling these guys so you may find them on the buy/sell board from time to time.
