They are not as messy eating as oscars, but they are a very thick bodied fish that gets reasonably large so they don't fit the 1"/gallon "rule". How large is your tank?

I think 3 in an 80 would be okay. Do you plan on having anything else in the tank?

You should be ok. For SD's you could also think about planting some hardy, fast growing vegetation for them. It'll eat up some of the nitrates and give them something to snack on. Java fern and moss are supposed to be able to handle their browsing if there's enough of it. Don't invest too heavily though, because they'll devour almost anything else you put in there.

Sorry, I should have specified they'll devour most other PLANTS you put in there, other than fast, hardy growers.
