Better be careful, it might not last...

I think territory size probably has something to do with it as well, I bet some tanks are probably big enough to support 2 stable pairs. I had 2 in a 20 gallon after I broke down my 90 and they did fine, I just made sure to feed them every day. I tried keeping 4 in my 90 at one point. Then one mysteriously disappeared. Then the third started hanging out by itself off in the corner, then a few weeks later he also mysteriously disappeared.
