Big Box Store fish... the correct answer is NONE until they have gone through a full and proper quarantine process.

Petco never carried the SA Bumblebee Catfish, once in a blue moon, but mostly Petsmart carries them. All 3 of mine came from Petsmart and no issue. They are a very hardy fish.

For a 20g, I say you can do about 1-2.
