I have to agree with jmm overall though. You will eventually be left with a single individual, maybe a pair.

Make sure your aquarium is completely covered as they are small and will find the tiniest of escape routes.
Agree. If you are lucky, you get a pair. If not you end up with 1 fish in DT and the others in the sump.
