Is 5 an okay number?

Also, if having multiple species is okay, do I just need one male total or one for each of the subspecies?

Is liveaquaria the best place to buy them?

Thank you, and happy reefing! ��

I actually mixed all them no issues.. I had 2 lyretails, 1 bartlett, 4 ignitus and a sunburst.. All in a 125.. The mail lyretail was relentless on the female though. Ignitus and dispar are pretty close to the same and hard sometimes to tell apart.
