What anthias to keep with square blocks

What other anthias could I get to go with my square blocks? I have a male
And female about 10-12cm and would like to add some lyre tails or dispars which are about 6-8cm.
Would this be ok
My tank is a 5x2x2
 
I have both Lyretails and Dispars along with a few other species of anthias with my Squarebacks with no problems...but I recommend a few things first...make sure the Dispars are eating well before introducing them and also there maybe a problem introducing a male Lyretail with an established male Square..you may have to remove the Square for a few days until the Lyretail is established...
 
I have pairs of Sunbursts, Randall's, Bartlett's, Stockies and after ten months I just lost my Purple Queens ....I don't recommend Stockies...my male was very aggressive towards all other anthias so I traded him.
 
Thanks a lot for that mike

My lfs where I work has started getting lots of anthias in and I hope to get trios of lyre tails. Dispars and Bartlets.
I feel that after these additions a new tank needs to be planned
 
squares get pretty big my male is in with two females and a trio of lyretails . my square is by far the most dominant in the tank a 265 . I think if you add the lyretails in as females , you might not get a full male. but if you ad a full male you could be asking for a fight .
here's a pic of the square
