It could work - no more than one pair though. Erectus are one of the "easier" species to start with. Of course, buy captive bred direct from a breeder - not from a LFS

Ditto on what Tom said

I had 3 reidi temporarily in a 26 gallon once but it was minimal at best. They did breed in there though, so it coudn't have been too bad for them.
