From what I've read, nope, they get too agressive with eachother. MAYBE some dwarf angels, but you'll have to wait for some replies from other people who are more experienced with angels.

Can different Angels be in the same tank?
THanks in advance... Yes they can but you have to be careful and try to add them at the same time or you can rearrange your rock work. Here is a picture of mine. Good luck with your decision.

Maybe yes, maybe no way, maybe maybe.There just isn't an easy answer to this question. How big a tank? What's there now? What angels do you want? So much depends on type, size, and when they are introduced. But, under the right circumstances, some angels can be kept together. I get the feeling you might just be questioning our sponsor's blanket warning.

I have kept 2-3 dwarf angles at the same time and my ones now are doing just fine.

Sure, I have too. I also have introduced a dwarf into a fairly large tank with a similar (same genus) dwarf and he was almost killed within minutes.

Its a 220. Right now there is a Volitan LION and a yellow Tang. I would like to add:
Six Bar Angelfish
Saddleback Butterfly
Teardrop Butterfly
Xanthurus Anglefish.
Is they are all ordered at the same time might they get along?
THanks again.

I think there's a good chance they would. If I were doing this, I'd get the butterflies in 1st, wait a few weeks, and introduce the angels at the same time. Butterflies usually don't like a lot of commotion and that would be very likely introducing 4 fish at once. This also avoids the territorial problems with the angels. I'm not really familiar with a six-band; but know that they're Pomacanthus angels and get very big. If the Xanthurus is the Indian Yellowtail, its much smaller. I haven't seen (or even heard) of either of these fish in a long time. Just out of curiosity, how did you chose these and what is your source? Have a back up plan, angels will often take an immediate dislike to each other sometimes.

In my 150 BEFORE the power company had an APPRENTICE reverse wire the subdivision. I had an Adult Emperor and Koran Angel that lived in perfect peace with no fights at all. Heck the pair of Clowns chased the Koran more than the Emperor even thought of.

We have been researching for a while.
We finally decided on the following which I believe will fill out the tank nicely and get along very well.
Saddleback Butterflyfish
Xanthurus Cream Angelfish
Double Saddle Butterflyfish
Kole Yellow Eye Tang
I also dropped a Tomato Clown in there from my 90 Gal because he was loving my RBT to death. If we notice some tension in there we will have to move someone to the 90.
thanks for all the comments.
