Hey im thinkin of doin a 20G shellie tank of Neolamp. Ocellatus I need to know how many can i fit into it? Is there anything else i should know before setting it up? is there a small open water tang that could fit? All help is appreciated!

I have never done a species ocellatus tank, but I would say 6 to 8 to start out with in a twenty gallon, a few rocks to break up territories, two shells per fish. I would just keep it a species only tank, checkout this link
