I know that I cant put 2 males of the same species in a tank but can I put multiple males from different species in a tank?
 
Well, I have multiple males of one species. Each male "herds" his females. Tank size is 240 gallons and species is carberryi
 
I have 2 male Dispars 6 total in a 190 with no problems and they all stay together. Lori and Ignitus would also probably be fine with multiple males. Many other varieties would not be.
 
I guess there's no real way of knowing until I start adding them.

1 male per species here as well.
Mine will group sometimes to each species, but most of the time they all group together, and during that time my larger lyretail male seems to be bossy w/ them all, nothing harmful, just very good at keeping everyone in line.
