Not sure where the number six came from. Most people perfer shoals of more 4+ to make them act more natural. You could get away with 4 for life in that tank or more if you plan on upgrading later.

Lady had a 2 incher? It's pretty young then. She couldn't have had it very long then. Already gave up on it?

3 full size maybe 4 id get 3...when full grown there is a lot of waste

I honestly wouldn't recommend more than 3 in a 75. RBP's get up to 12." Thats about like an oscar, gt, or rd. Imagine 4 red devils in a 75 gallon tank! I think you could get away with three for a looong time.


oh yeah, and don't feel too bad about not being able to upgrade. I bet my wife puts the foot down as hard (or harder) as your mom.
