Establishing Stomatella Population

[LobsterOfJustice]

Found a place selling Stomatella in lots of 5, would 5 be enough to start a self sustaining population?

You probably need at least even if they are hermaphrodites. I introduce 4 five years ago into my 80 gallon aquarium. I seldom see them but they are large when I see them in my aquarium - however in my sump - I have discover small ones - I suppose they have succeeded to breed. I think five is enough as a start - just be aware that they can sometimes feed on sponges too
