Nothing.

2. how big a tank will i need? will 20litres do?

Adequate, but depends on filtration and water quality. The bigger the better, but depth is less important than length and width.

3. how can i increase life expectaancy? (had a few problems with this in the past)

Not really. They're short lived.

4. And is life expectancy proportiona to size?

Not really. They reach a certain age, breed, and die. Whether they get to maximum size then or not is up to you.
