Just teasin, Meow. I was getting a little stir crazy at work and ready to leave. But I have a cold corona in my hand now and all is well in the world again. Actually I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to these fish I've never had one either. But a quick search leaves me to believe that you could do 3 of these fish as they only max out at around 2 inches for the males. It seems as though it's quite fine to keep them as harems with a male or not...kinda like anthias. I say go for it.
