I dont think you can keep them together without ending up with 2 dead fish
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

I agree. Even if you get a pair, they may wind up killing each other.

Maybe...
I would never buy two without a chance to seperate them if things go wrong...

Good on you. If no back up plan it's not worth messing with eh?

You might need more then two aswell if you try to breed, i think it's impossible to tell males from females.

Two of them can fit a 75g. They will be happy and won't attack each other if you got a tight-fitting divider in that tank ;)
Kind regards,
