How many Hystrix ?

How many "True" hystrix could I keep in a tank with a 84 x 30" footprint?

Am I looking at a pair or maybe 3?

If 30" in width, three wouldnt be a problem at all.

Id like to try to breed them. if I got 3 or 4 what would be te best combination of male to female?

if i had 4 i would do 2.2

if 3 then 2f.1m

I would either do 2F and 1M or 3F and 2M. When breeding its always best to have more females than males, personally I like the 2F to every 1M ratio.
