i would keep them by themselves if you are looking to breed,if not should do well in community tanks larger than 10 gallons,densely planted tank will be fine with most species of dwarf barbs,and tetras

well bill you can use one tank and rotate species, depending on weather they are substrate or bottom spawners ,whats neat about this family of fish is that you once you have collected the eggs you store them in peat for about 4 months in a small container ,and when ready just add water and there you are,but for me i will be setting up more 10 gallons as i aquire new species
