Lucky number 5. For some reason I always buy my cichla in fives.
Depending on what size your "grow" out tank is and how big the baby bass is then go from there. Two bass would work as baby bass, But (IMO/IME) they tend to form a school (5+) when they are small and they teach each other to eat (Pellets, shrimp, crickets and so on). To answer your question, I'd say get two.

i would go with your advice, but my tank at the time isnt suitable for that many of them. ive only got a 75 right now as a growout tank. and 5 is just too many for a 75 IMO. so basically the more the the better? 2 is better than 1?
Right.
Two is better then one, But you could also add dither to train the bass to eat to. Giant Danio's, tiger barbs, blood parrots...things of that sort.
Okay thanks. They'll be in a tank with a silver arowana, clown knife, fire eel, and a pleco.
Single one would hide.
I have a single Mono Pbass in my tank with my Oscar and a large school of SD and he doesn't hide at all. He comes right up with the Oscar all the time, and wasn't too difficult to get him trained on pellets either. Only took a couple weeks of feeding him peas, then sticking bits of large cichlid pellets in the peas, then just dropping the pellets in.
