So, I want to add both of these to our tank (220g). How many of each would be too many? I was thinking 3 & 3. Is that good? Do you think that this would be a problem? Any help or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!
 
As far as i was aware those species are more solitary as they get older and may be somewhat agressive to conspecifics, but in that size of tank i would imagine it would be doable.
 
Blotchies are tough as nails. They’ll survive with anyone. I would add the sunburst first as they are shy. You want to get them eating before adding blotchies. Blotchies will hide the first day and eat like Pac-Man next day regardless of tank mates. ;) good luck!
