HI!

Johannes Leueneberger was the first to spawn the L177 (might still even be the only one) (By the way Larry Vires has spawn L81 no L177...)

He had a tank size of 112gal. Male was 22cm long female 18cm
Water parameter 750 microsiemens ph 7.3 T°30°c

Cheers

I would definitely say that a 20g tank is too small for a single L177, never mind a pair.

To be sexable, they need to be around 15 cm, 6" - even then, it's probably not easy, as both males and females are pretty "hairy", from what I've read.
