Just remember, since they are bottom dwellers, they require more surface to occupy and do not care about height.
Are they adults or juveniles?

Mainly adults about 2 or 3 smaller ones...

i think a 75g would be minimal with a 4x2x2 or in the proximety of it.

Great thanks....
They are currently in 3 x 2 x 1.5
Just buying a 6.5 x 2 x 2 so I expect they will go in there....

I have my breeding colony of 12-13 in a 30 gal breeder tank. It is loaded with rock, slate and wood. They spawn in there and I have had as many as 50+ assorted fry in the same tank with them at times.
I think providing tons of adequate hiding places is as important as tank size. However, a smaller well provisioned tank also requires adequate water changes and vacuuming.
