i did some basic research on the rrp, they generally do well with several females and one male, their temper is much like that of a betta, like the male betta the male rrp can be provoked into displaying it's full color and fins with a mirror, it is not recommended to keep more than one male together unless you are keeping more than several females, as disputes can and will break out and they will fight with each other. one male to 4 females should be a perfect ratio, or one male alone, if you have a male and one female the male could get aggressive with wanting to breed and accidentally injure the female, although they are a more peaceful fish and should be kept with fish of the same size in a community tank. also from what i have read they will swim all over the tank but mainly near cover for fast and easy escape should something frighten them. i do not have any personally but i think they are an awesomely colored fish and would be perfect in a group as a primary display fish for a tank.
Hope this helps,
Brandon
