I would only keep one pair in a 20 long.  A couple pairs would be ok in 40 breeder with sight line breaks.

Agree with Jcunningham - I put a small group in a 20g to get pair offs and found that only 1 pair could fit "comfortably." They are sassy little things :)

 Yeah that's what I was thinking either way. Line of Sight breaks would be an absolute must for multiple pairs in one tank.

 I'm getting 1m/ 6 fm WC Isanga in a few weeks. Will still be looking for a buyer of the extra females.
