How many red licorice gouramis can live in a 6 gallon tank? I currently have 2 males. They only spar occasionally and never cause any damage to each other. Their little spats only involve some fin flaring (which is spectacular) and a single lunge. I would like to get some females for them, but I need to no the limit due to territorial reasons.
The Danio erythromicron aren't doing to well, mainly because I never see them for more than a few seconds and can't monitor their conditions.
 
Is this one of the Danios that MsJinkzd was offering? I guess the shyness is normal, although a larger tank is suggested for "combative males"

I love that profile site because they describe the habitat as well :)

Are you going to try to breed them? They seem rather fussy, I'm sure live food would be required to condition them.
