Can you have more than 1 dwarf angel per tank?


I currently have a 72 gal tank, going to get 90 gal in next few months. I'm trying to decide on angel fish. Can you keep 2 different species dwarf angels in same tank? ie: Coral Beauty and Flame back or Fischer's, or other combinations. Some places I've talked to say yes you can, some say no way. Would like 2 if possible. Input please.

It might work but, I would not take the risk. Generally the more different in shape and coloration the better the cahnces are.

Hi Row-Z,

I have a big flame and a small flameback in a 140g...These two ignore each other but I would not try to do that in a 72g tank...

Great fishes though but likely to fight...

Good luck..

Even in a 180, I think it is risky.

Not to say it couldn't work, but there's a decent chance of animosity, imho.
