Can you have more than two? I want to get three but cant find a definitive answer.

What size tank? 3 in a 20 and 3 in a 200 will generate a different response. I had 3 in a 200 and lost one due to it being a high flow aggressive tank.

They need a significant amount of space per fish if keeping more than one. I wouldn't attempt more than one in less than 50g. Most schools will also do better with 5 or more to reduce aggression between the dominant members.

Often, I see more than one fighting and often til death. There seems to be a dominant male in the batch in many cases. I had a trio and there is one male left

Sounds like i should only get two

Got #7 2months ago down to one now, they are not for me, I dont like they way they eat, they are mean little fish to each other, and way to expensive.

They look cool but they are difficult to keep IMO

I have 2 in my 20g nano cube. They grow fast.
I also have a 6 line. This is max fish for me in the cube.

I do not know your tank size. I have a 300 gallon and a pair did fine. Two pair worked for awhile until one pair decided the tank was big enough for them alone and the other pair kind of withered away. Now, my experience is not necessarily a definitive universal rule………

That tank is so sweet!
