I don't think there'd be any problems with what ever ratio you want to get. You could even get one male and three femals if you want

Actually, if you are planning on breeding them you should have more males than females. If you just want to keep them for pets it does not matter how many of each sex you have.

Yes, If you are planning on breeding them you should have more than one male. I recently purchaced a group of 2.2 with great success.
