30 gallons minimum. The bigger the better so you can keep a larger, happier shoal.

They’re big for a tetra, very active and need to be kept in schools. I’d go a big as possible, even a 3ft long tank if you can.

I’ve had these before and they will definitely do better in a 30g than a 20g; even though they are blind they are extremely active and quick, I would be a little concerned about them zooming into tank walls if they didn’t have enough horizontal space.
Side note; mine also did not play nice with other top/mid dwelling fish (they did a lot of fin nipping to other fish) if you were planning on having tank mates that would occupy that area. Bottom dwellers were no problem, though.
