can the two be kept in the same tank without problems? and is a 29 gallon tank big enough for two or just one?

I would go with one. I am doing a similar setup with a zebra only in 30 gallon.

there both relatively easy...just got to wean them down off live foods(ghost shrimp,guppies) to frozen or if you have a good LFS they might have some that are already eating

yea i noticed that and it crossed my mind that live foods arent really to easy to find but i guess you just train them to eat frozen foods? what kind of foods like silverside and krill?

little pieces of krill,silversides,mysis,brine....i like 2 give them ghost shrimp once in awhile just to let them have some fun...but thats after they have already been eating frozen....which is pretty easy to do..after a few days without eating a floating piece of krill starts looking really good i guess.....lol

basically...but if it goes to long without eating you have to give them so live
