Hi.
By half beak I assume you mean the wrestling half beak.
I've never had them but I think the minimum tank size for a small group is 20 gallons, however for a larger group with multiple males should have a larger tank. I think you can have a pretty large group in a 75 gallon - not sure exactly how many but a 75 gal will be plenty of room for them!
However remember that the males will fight over territory.
Also it would be nice if you had some floating plants for them and their fry to hide and a lid (you probably do) because they are excellent jumpers.

How long and wide is the tank?
What is the GH (general hardness), KH (carbonate hardness) and pH of your water supply?
This information can usually be obtained from your water supply company's website or by telephoning them. If they can't help you, take a glass full of tap water to the local pet shop and get them to test it for you. Write the results down (in numbers) when they do the tests. And ask them what the results are in (eg: ppm, dGH, or something else).
