I got a 300 gallon Rubbermaid and will like to add 3 largemouth. Will they be fine?

I believe the accepted convention around here is that one bass needs a thousand gallons. They are not necessarily aggressive to each other from what I have seen, but they get big.

Depends on the size of the fish. Realistically, In a tank that size 3 will not get along. There's always going to be a dominant one and he will terrorize the others since they don't have much space to hide. Just my experience.

I can't speak for Largemouth, but I have a Coosa Bass and it may be the meanest fish ever. Super aggressive and very territorial.

I also think that that may not be enough room for 1, let alone 3.
