What size are the caribas you are buying? Caribas grow larger and are much more aggressive than red bellies. IMO the tank should be on the bare side to eliminate territories and i find barebottomed tanks to be easier to maintain when you have large messy fish. Three is definately the max for that tank size, but a larger tank would be better. I have a similar setup: 75g tank- three 9" caribas, and in my opinion the tank is too small for these fish. I will be upgrading to 125g soon.
here is a pic of my setup:

dnt use sand they scare easy the sand will get stired up natural or black gravel always looks good
yea its better to use back ground black or darker blue there real skidish low light an a place weres theres not alot of tracic
3 9" Caribe in a 72gal tank?
I wouldnt bother. 3 is a bad number anyway, and that tank probably wont be big enough for them. Whats the footprint of the tank?
