I have some (not sure how many - somewhere between a dozen and 20 I
guess) in a 600 l densely-planted tank.
The water is moderately hard, and they don't seem to mind it. They
did eat my riccia, they haven't eaten my moss, they've done a good job
on teh algae - much the best algae control method I've had.
