75G Demasoni Group?

[Manu8__too]

I'm currently throwing around the idea of setting of a 75G "Demasoni" species only tank. I would have heavy filtration, as well as carry out weekly 50-60% water changes. I've read the minimum group number should be 12-15 individuals. Theoretically, could I house more than 15, or is that a good starting number (assuming they spawn)?

Theoretically, could I house more than 15....

Yes, easily, and personally I would start with approx. 20 of this species in a 75 gallon. The larger number will help spread aggression, and reduce the chance of any one specimen being singled out by the dom males. Lower overall stress levels = greater chance for long term success. Good luck.
