So I am looking to put multiple Genicanthus Angels in my tank.

So little bit about the tank. Total display volume is 300 gallons and I have a 210 sump and 100 Ref in the background.

I want to put in a couple set of these angels and have heard mix results so looking for anyone who has done this or advise in general.
They are all apart of the Genicanthus grouping, but they are generally considered peacful. I have lots of tangs in my tank Purple/Yellow/Sailfin and they get along.

Thoughts? Here is the list I am looking to add. The question can I do male female pairs or should I just choose females and one male or maybe two or all of them :)

Bellus Angelfish - Male and Female - Genicanthus bellus
Spotbreast Angelfish - Male and Female - Genicanthus melanospilos
Watanabei Angelfish - Male and Female - Genicanthus watanabe
Lemarks (Just one since it doesn't matter) - Genicanthus lamarck
 
I have a male and female Zebra, Lamark, female Spotbreast and a female Bellus in a 180 gallon mixed reef tank. I also have a Black Tang, Sailfin Tang and Goldflake Angel. All doing well together. Going on five years together.

So only one male though correct? Looks like everything else you have is female? Lamarks don't show any signs of male or female coloring so its hard to tell.
 
I feel it is really going to depend on the fish. My male Watanabei does not tolerate any similar looking fish...he almost killed a lamarck, pearlscale butterfly, and his girls are not any more tolerant. They are pretty feisty

Just added a bunch of fish, so I guess if I try it - now is the time!
