Multiple male rhomboids together?

I just got a shipment of 3 rhomboid pairs. They are upstairs in my 40g breeder qt'ing at the moment.
So far so good. Everyone is eating and getting along fine.
My 860g has a female in there already along with my 15 or so other wrasses.
I was planning on keeping the 3 females, plus the established one already and adding only 1 male from my shipment.
But they are all so nice, I'm just wondering if I can add all the males together rather than selling 2 and keeping 1.

The other wrasses consist of
Diamond tail pair
Cf. Lancelatous pair
Cf. Lunatus
Female rhomboid
Male Rosefascia
3 bathyphilus juveniles
Male Katoi
Male Katherine's
Female flame
Blue sided
Yellow coris
China pearl
I believe that is all for now.
Thanks,
Derek
 
In your sized tank, it could work. In a smaller tank, the Male Rosefascia would be my biggest concern as well as multiple males together. In a smaller tank, existing females would likely convert to male and also be a problem.
 
Thanks Steve.
My male Rosefascia is only 3" at moment and actually is kind of a push over. He hangs out on left side of the tank just now warming up to the rest of tank mates.
He, the 3 bathyphilus, the Katoi and the diamond tail male went in all together 3 weeks ago.
Out of those that went in, he hid the longest and is the most timid still. The Cf. Lancelatous is a supermale now, and he controls the tank. Not aggressively so, but he lets everyone know when he flashes that he's boss wrasse.
