How important is it to keep these in groups?
I got 4 a while ago, intending to get another 3-4 a couple of weeks later after the filter had caught up, but they got ill and died, and then I didnt want to buy more until I was sure my tank was free of illness.
Well it is now, but I am moving house in a month and a half, and will be travelling 250 miles with these guys. Obviously the less fish I have the easier this will be. There are 2 WCMs left at the moment, they seem fine and quite independant of each other. Do I need to get more, or can this wait till after the move? There is only one place I can get my fish locally, and most of the stock are weak, they are always getting ill and the first to succomb to illness, so I'd prefer to wait till I move and can hopefully find somewhere better, but dont want to be cruel to my current fish.
