First thing when getting new geckos is to quarentine them for approx. 3 months to make sure they are not a health risk to your current group. After that what i did was to slowly introduce my females together, letting them see eachother by placing tanks side by side and then having group play sessions. I put them all into a tank togther and watched to see how they would react. I did this a few times, introducing food to see how they did too. All in all there was no fighting and i eventually put them all together in my 40 gal tank. Theres been a few times that they had disagreements (trying to all fit into one hide) but all in all they get along great. I've seen all of them at one time or another curled up together. And when it comes to food each comes to the dish at their own time to eat. At first there was an order but now its not so much that way. Nala my blizzard girl used to be last but now she'll be first and once she's done the others make their way over. Only one eats at a time still though.
IMO if fighting is continuous and/or causes injury then the females should be separated indefinetely.
