Yes. A group of 5-6 is excellent. Minimum group of 5 is my preference but a group of 3 is also fine.

I have three in my tank and find them very peaceful. They each have adopted a small breeding cave for themselves and tend to lay on their side in the cave with their nose out the entrance. They love cukes the best and had a field day with one from the garden last week.

You can see the little cave entrance behind them. The third dario is a bit shy and has a different type of cave which I am in the process of changing as he is not as secure in it. They spend most of their time sleeping on their sides.
