I've been wanting to do this for a while, so I figure I might as well start planning.
I want to introduce two adult P. trans into a 10 gallon tank with 6 or so hides. Will it work? I remember someone else keeping them communally in the past (Ed? Dave?), but couldn't find the post. Did it work? They would, of course, be a breeding pair, so that might make a difference.
Also, do you think I could keep them together throughout the entire process? Will the female drop her young with the male in the tank?
Finally (for now), what do you think about a false bottom? How humid do you keep them, and how deep do they burrow? If they're going to dig for humidity I'd be tempted to add the false bottom, if they're only going to use scrapes (which I've heard they tend to do) I won't worry about it.
Thanks ahead of time,
Chris
