If it was me I was just going to do just yellow labs and some catfish or something I would do about 8 I would try to get one male and seven females.

Let em breed!
Two or more males are fun to watch square off and circle each other for hours.

i wouldnt worry too much about aggression , caeruleus are one of the most peaceful species .

nc nc is right, caeruleus aren't very aggressive at all. I have two males in the same tank with two females. Very peaceful fish compared to the others. I would also agree on 12-15 fish with atleast two males. Good luck and how about a pic or two?
