In the long run they need something like a 150g for a group of 5 or 6 but in the short term that number should be okay in a 55. Just keep in mind they'll need a bigger home eventually.

Eventually == years away (they add 1" per year).

I have 4 2.5"-3" in a 65g right now and hope that this is enough for 3 years at least....
