How many Caudopunctatus?

Hi...
I'm starting up a 75 gallon Tanganyikan tank. I want representatives of most of the "peaceful" cichlids (julies, altos, etc.). I hear contradictory things about N. caudopunctatus. Specifically, the Imperial Tropicals website says "Due to the social nature of these fish, they are sold in groups of 3." Yet elsewhere I read that they can be aggressive toward conspecifics (if not mated), and that males are especially inclined to fight each other. I think a group of 3 of these fish would look great, but I don't know if that is a good idea. Any recommendations or pros/cons of getting 1, 2, or 3? Thanks!

Looking for Multies or Similis?

Does anyone have either Lamp multi or similis? I would love to get a small starter colony if you do.

J.
