I want 4 or 5 RBPs in a 75g. At the moment I have a 20g empty. I was already advised to get 6 semi adults or 10-15 1" ones in case of cannabalism. If I got the 1" ones would I be able to keep the in the 20g for a short while or should I go for the 75g straight away and should I buy them small or big.
 
I have a 20g and 2 RBPs, from what I am told, 6 months tops in the 20g. I dont see why you couldnt throw em in the 75g right away tho.
 
There is no way you could keep 4 0r 5 RBPs in a 20 gallon for six months. Once the fish reach 2.5 inches or so you should be prepared to move them. Oh and that should be in less then two months! Just get a 75 to start out with as well as 4 or 5 RBPs.
 
There growth will be stunted if they stay in that 20 gallon for a long time... Get that 75 gallon asap...
