1 ) no. pretty much species tank only.

2 ) they should be; a lot of UK members have them.

3 ) PURE FRESHWATER (in other words, you're in the wrong forum. try Oddballs.)

4 ) fairly picky eaters. need a steady supply of snails and often won't touch food unless its wiggly.

5 ) not positive on the spelling, but that's the right name as far as i'm concerned.

go to Oddballs, click the Search button and look for "dwarf". most of the returns will be about DPs.

Pretty much been covered. You need at least 5 gallons for one and 10 gallons for two with heavy filteration. Sand substrate is best and if you have more then one oyu need plenty of caves and plants.
