I have a 120 gallon tank and i want to finally take the plunge and get a pair of Red Isletas from Rapps but was wondering if I should get 2 females and 1 male, just a pair or just a single male given the tank is only about 50 inches and deeper in width? Maybe this isn't even the best style tank for this particular fish but its the only one I have available. I was all set to just get a nice show male but I do tend to grow tired of a single show fish in a tank and think I would enjoy the fish more it he had a mate or 2. What do you guys think?
 
Matt once they pair off should I get rid of the extras? I was thinking of asking Rapps to give me 1 male and 3 females at the 4" size and try for a trio to spread out aggression or let the male choose his mate himself. Last thing I want to do is put up a divider in this tank.
