i would think that more would keep the females females. If there are 3 in 180 gallon, 1 male and 2 females. There really isn't any reason for the females to stay females. With one male, and plenty of space they will probably change to male because of the room available to grow.
if you add 10 to a 180 1 male and 9 females, the space now is very limited per anthias. A few will change to a male but i believe these would keep the rest of the females in check. If there isn't much space available then the females most likely wont turn to a male. Thats my guess. Ive never had a female turn to a male while holding it, but i have not held them for very long.
IMO/E the bigger the space the more you should have. in a 55 gallon i think 3-5 would keep them in check.
