I read that anything under 2.5 or smaller will stress them. They like kind of still pond-like water.
I have mine (a blue cardinal male) in a five gallon tank. I'm hoping to put real plants in it, because I've had no success with live plants in my 55 gallon (Rooters, eaters stare ) but since it's just him (and maybe soon a couple of tetras) I think he'll be fine. He gets really energetic after he eats, lol.
He's the only one I have and he made a bubble nest at the top of the tank. Which I've got to change the water tomorrow but I don't want to mess up his masterpiece! gonk I think he might of made it because of his imaginary competition for his imaginary female (his reflection LOL) I sat there for hours today watching him!

They don't only like still water. My Fiona loved to play in the current of her overfiltered tank, and I've heard of others who loved it too. Every one is different and they like different things.
