Start with 4 in 1500 gallon few months ago. Two days later they are 3. One killed? 4 days ago I introduce 3 again. No problems. They stay together often. The colors of the new ones are much better. Belive waterquality and food will blech yellow.

Yes you can keep multiples assuming you have a tank that is large enough. I've had 2 for about a year and I am considering adding a couple more.
How big is your display tank?

It is 450 gallons I don't think it needs to be that large to keep multiples though.

I kept a pair and it worked just fine. Key is to get two of different size (males are larger) or a group of little ones that are guaranteed still female. In the latter case I would try to get them all in slightly different sizes so the hacking order is clear from the start. If all are equal size you may get some hierarchy fights in the beginning.

I had 2 for a long time till 1 jumped. Then I added 2 more and the 3 get along fine. In addition there are another dozen plus damsels in the tank. The Starcki don't bother anyone - big or small.
