I have a 2.1 group of Emerald swifts in a 20 gallon long tank. I also have a male by himself in a 20 gallon long. They are doing fine together, and the person I got them from kept them like that. I just got a used 55 gallon tank and am goin to put the 2.1 group in it and was wondering if I should try to put the lone male in there with them as well? That would make 3 males and 1 female. Any thoughts? Should I put the lone male in with the others in the 55 gallon tank?

P.S. As a side note, the second male of the 2.1 group is smaller and not as bright as the "dominant" male" of the group. While the lone male is just as brightly colored, though slightly smaler.

Normally it is suggested that you not put more than one male in an enclosure however I currently maintain a group of 3 males and one female Sceloporus Occidentalis in the same enclosure with no ill affects. My enclosure is not even as big as yours so I would not worry about it. Also is it noteworthy that my individuals are actively breeding and I have not observed any aggressive behavior
