Mixing Dollars

[Yoda1]

So at the moment in my SA themed setup I have 4 ordinary Silver Dollars and 3 spotted Dollars
On the weekend I went to a lfs that had some Wide Bar and also some Striped Dollars.

Am keen to get one of each. I know that Dollars like to be in groups.
But. They were quite expensive. And also, am close to the max of the stocking level in my tank. So don't want to get more than one of each.

How would they do in a mixed group of different Dollar species?
Anyone with experience of this??

They will join the group, I've heard Red hooks can be a little nippy.

The wide bars get huge. Larger than the others by a large margin. Tiger sds if that is the one you are talking about get to around 5-6" max same for spotted. The regular ones I've not any very large. I'd get two tigers instead of one of each if it were me. Wide bars will require a large set up as well eventually since they grow over a foot in length let alone height
