In any tank less than 75 gallons, I've found it difficult, to say the
least, to keep more than a pair. All excess female sre the first to be
driven off and killed. then when pairing is done the males start to reduce
themselves.

They should all need the same water parameters and treatment.
These are very beautiful varieties. Wild ones are always a challenge.
They will need some parasite deinfestation.
Good Luck
