Mixing Anthias

I have a friend that has a male and a female Dispar anthias. She wants to add a group of female Lyretails.
Is there cause for concern one of the Lyretails turning male and having issues with the male Dispar?

Or will the presence of a male Dispar stop any of the Lyretails from turning?
 
I have lyretail, dispar, bartletts in my tank right now - males and females. I have had them for years. They all look great, but I don't have a make bartlett, just two females.
 
You shouldn't have any issues mixing lyretails and dispars. Is this for the 240? If so, maybe throw in some ignites, or even carberryi :)

Actually, it's a friends 140.
She was most concerned about the current male Dispar and future Lyretails that might turn male.
I told her that since she has a male now, any new additions must female.
 
My various pseudoanthias do a good job of bickering amongst themselves, but really very little outside the species. Bartletts leave the bimacs alone which leave the resplendents alone, etc. Got lots of males too.
