Banjo Cat Behavior

I had one banjo in my tank for a while. I almost never saw him move. Most of the time he was stuck against the side of the tank mixed in amongst some fake plants that I had stuck there. I recently bought another banjo and what a difference. They actually seem to like being together. They have found a spot under a rock where they bury themselves during the day. Its leaning against the side of the tank so I can see them most of the time. A couple of nights ago we lost power for a few hours. As I wandered around the house in total darkness, I decided to check the tank with my flashlight. And there they were hanging out, moving all over the tank together, it was really cool. The one was so inactive I never thought that these fish would do better in a group. I have a 90 gallon tank, and could get more. Do any of you know if they enjoy being in a group, or should I leave it at two?

Depending on what else you have in your tank (IE, if you are at capacity of fish without overstocking), I would say grab some more. I tend to see my banjos more that I have more than three together now.
