Would a few of these be fine in a 20gal tank with neons and guppies and a few albino corys or would i be best just getting a bristle nose?
Tank temp is set at 24C so will reach 25C often id imagine is this just at the top of their tolerances?
Ph is about 6.5 from what i can make it this should be fine
I have fine gravel smooth rocks plants and bogwood will it be ok with that?
if anyone has kept them could you advise me on them please, just thought theyd make a nice alternative to a bristlenose
Cheers

When I kept them, they did best under 20°C.

But apart from that, they would be perfect for your tank if you have a fast flow along one wall.

Yeh we have a fast flowing back wall that should suit them, the other fish like it lol
Anyone know if theyd be fine with the temprature?

Hmmm not sure, I think it would be okay, I keep mine in my 'coldwater' tank, but because of the temp I keep the house at that tank is generally 24-26 anyway and he does pretty well, but yeah these little guys do like their strong current
