I have 1 syno eurutes in a 75gal.Do these do better in groups?Also I wanted to add some petracola.Will they get along with the eurutes?How many petracolas should I get?My tank is going thru some changes and will end up with some frontosa and clown loaches.Thanks

S. euperus does fine on its own.

I think you may need to choose between a Lake Tanganyika (with a pH of about 7.8-8.2) and a riverine tank (with a pH of about 6.6-7.0). Although you could at a pinch keep all these fish together at a pH of about 7.5, none of them would be very happy. Since you already have the eupterus, may be a good idea to stick to riverine fish and keep your tank at a neutral pH.

Finally, if you really must get the C. frontosa, you need to be aware that this fish will require a 180 gallon tank in a few years.

I allready have 1 frontosa,1 euperus and 3 clown loaches.I have other fish in the tank but they will be gone by this weekend.I am aware of the size fronts get.Mine is only 2 inches.Eventually I will upgrade the tank.The ph is at 8.2

should I return the euperus along with the other fish and just stick to the petracolas?

Yes, I'd suggest choosing the lake or the river instead of trying to do both.
