I've been reading about them and it seems they like to stay in small groups. Are there any issues with keeping a lot of them together? I'm thinking of keeping between 10-15 of them. 18" x 6' surface area.

I've had 4 of them together, and occasionally a couple would gang up and pick on one of the other ones.  Could be one of those situations where having more would help.

Yeah that's kinda what I'm thinking, but if they naturally hang out in groups I'm wondering if separate schools would form and start fighting group on group.

Well today I saw a group of them that must've been around the fifty fish range. Soooo, I got ten more. (I don't know how to embed...)
