What would be a good size tank for a spotted raphael?

I've read conflicting info about their sociability....would they do better in pairs, a group, or solitary?

20 gallons and up.

Agreed...they can hit 6", but grow very slowly.

I have two striped raphiales, they stay together even though they were introduced as adults at very seperate times. I have one smaller spotted, but he hides for months. they are in a comunity tank 75gallon. bottom feed on shrimp pellets.

Am very intrigued by the spotted raphaels....but all I have with any real room is a 20 gallon, and I already have some bronze cories in there. Think I could still pull off a raphie?
