I wouldn't trust a 180 to house them for life..... Mine look a lil unhappy in a 300 gallon. A 180 will work for a growout but I'd definetly plan to move them to something bigger, especially given thier skiddish nature.
I have 4.... ZERO issues whatsoever.... I had the group split up for a while when I first got them and had no issues keeping just a pair together. They stuck by eachother most of the time.

i had a 12 inch one in a 75 gal, so i was thinking 3 would be perfect in a 180 gal with powerhead
I feel sorry for that fish......
People are kept in cells that are 6 by 8 and they are "fine" too.... But not happy.
Some people try to keep thier fish happy. Others keep fish to make themselves happy.
It's no wonder these things die prematurely in captivity.....
Good luck......

They Max out at around 16" so make sure your tank footprint can support that size. If they're not the same size, the smaller ones will get picked on. DB Junkie's experience with them is the exception not the rule. In a 180 I'd stick to having just one.

Some people's "a foot" is WWWAAAYYY different then others...... My measurements are VERY conservative to say the least....
We're still talking about fish, right? lol
