Are they only visible from underneath or would I be able to see them from the top? Also, how does keeping more than one effect the tank size I would need. In other words if I decided to get another one of these down the road would I need to get an even bigger tank than I am planning to get?
When they are small it's nearly impossible to see them other than from the bottom. I would say a 180 foot print would be ok for 2-3 retic's especially if they are male. AS LONG as you plan on doing good size water changes every week like 1-2 50% especially when they are adults. I have 3 mature retics my smallest being 9in male my largest being 14in female all are over 5 years old so not getting any bigger....maybe thicker 
And I wouldn't have a problem putting the 3 in a 180 or preferably a 220 just for sheer water volume and keeping the water clean. Even when these guys look like they have plenty of room its more the bio load than anything. And the bio load unless you are testing your water every day you just can't see what they are doing to the water. Let us know if you figure out what gender your little one is.

Let us know if you figure out what gender your little one is.The most I would probably do is 2. I will be sure to tell everyone the sex when I find out. I am kind of hoping it is a male based purely on size, but as long as he/she is healthy I can't complain.
