Hello Mare. Hope you're doing well. By all means keep us posted. I'm excited that you may be getting a new tank! The fish in your OP is "awesome". I can see why it caught your eye.
Take care.

S. multipunctatus are social fish, best kept in groups. They are adaptable to different water conditions, though I wouldn't keep them in water lower than 7 (pH).
