Default Lyretail Anthias

Ok, I have a male and female lyretail, niger trigger, lemonpeel angel, 1 green chromis and a watchman goby.

My lemon peel has shown some agression to the small female lyretail. I noticed this week that about half of her tail is missing...and she's looking pretty ragged. Today she didn't come out of hiding to eat and is breathing really weird. I assume she's stressed and beat up and about to die.

Now, would it be stupid of me to buy 2-3 more female lyretails for the male? Would I be asking for problems again?

Any opinions would be helpful!

You could risk it.I'm thinking numbers would dilute aggression.However it may not work as your lemonpeel could target individuals until your females are gone.
The only way to find out is to try but i would be inclined to make a choice, either keep the lemonpeel or the anthias.
