They do like to be with their own kind. They tend to be less afraid that way.
You might get away with 4 of each kind though. (if you have the room)
It is really better to have 6 or more of each kind you keep. They tend to be shy and hide a lot when there are less than 4 of their own kind most of the time.
That said... I have only 2 and 3 of a couple of kinds due to not being able to find more of them. They are all doing fine. I just don't get to see them much. They hide all the time. I only see them at feeding time.
