A 5 gallon is too small for a pair of anything aside from shrimp or snails, and even then it's too small to be stable.

honestly it would suck for them to live in a 5g. the bigger the better.. at least get a 10 or better yet a 15g allon for a pair. However if that is all you can do, make sure to please keep the water in the top, best conditions.

I think it will be fine. Get lots os small shells for them to play with.

 

[aquaman#1]

Yeah I think it would be fine too.

I've already answered - it's possible but not ideal in a 5 gallon tank. I'd opt for a pair of brevis myself - they're not as prolific as multis, easier to sex, and poor parents. Multis will overpopulate your tank, brevis likely will not.
