Anthias - Mixed or Same Species

I'm ready to buy a couple more Anthias. I currently have Two Bimaculatas, One Male & One Female. Very nice Fish.
I could get two or three more females, or I could mix them up and get a couple differnent ones. I know lots of you have multiple types of Anthias, I'm just wondering if it's best to have a minimum of 4 or 5 of each type. If you say it's just personal choice, I would probably prefer 3 or 4 different types of 2 or 3 each.
Right now I'm in a 120 Gal Tank, moving up to a 230 over the winter.

My LFS is getting some beautiful Anthias in all the time.

Hey Hef,

Trop has got some really nice stuff in lately. Marc, Austin, and Brent are doing a great job. I just picked up 2 Fairy Wrassses from them for my FO tank. If I were you I'd do 3 Anthias of the same type. Up at Absolutly Fish they have a few tanks w/ trios of Anthias and they look real sharp that way.

Keep me posted.

I'd hold off till the new tank is up. Be patient...it will pay off for you.
