I have a 67g tank dimensions are 36x24x18 and i saw wondering if i could keep a small shoal of three rbps in there for life or would that be to small for these guys and is there any sutible tank mates for these guys
67g with rbps?

no suitable tank mates... the tank is too small for multiple natts, but it would work out alright for a solo pygo or serra
Most people will tell you that is too small - I sort of agree with them.
If you want them to grow to their largest and healthiest size, I would get a bigger tank. However, if you do frequent water changes and have plenty of filtration they should be fine for life.. Just maybe not as happy as they could be in a larger tank.
EDIT: Tankmates: Plecos, crawfish, zebra danios or small tetras
However some P's have been known to eat ALL of these and you should experiment at your own risk, most people would advise against this, as you may just end up wasting your money and killing fish.

Ya thats what im worryed about do you think if i put only one rbp in the 67g it would be fine or is that even to small
one should be fine in there, it'll be plenty happy... but don't forget about the wide selection of serras that would do great in that size tank

You could put one red in there, but in my opinion reds are far less interesting solo. They are a shoaling fish, and the more you have, (assuming you can house them) the more interesting they are.
Of course, I know plenty of people who keep a solo red, or even a red with chiclids and love it. That is just my opinion.
If you're getting one get a Serra like a young Rhom or Elong.
I would say u could put 2 in that size tank. As long as you have a few hiding spots in there, u should b fine with 2 rbp's..
I've kept 3 rbp's in a 55g with no problems..As long as they stay well fed, they should b fine.
But as they got bigger I moved them to a 75g, and they r still good. They've been in there for about 10 years now...

TWO is not a good number tohave in a tank reguardless of the decor and hiding spots one will end up getting picked at to death. It's best to keep RBPs in a solo tank or 3 or more. this way aggression is disperced throughout the group.
