I asked a similar question under the post dwarf angels, and it appears that it is a hit or miss situation, depending on the individuals. I think it's worth a try though, as I do believe the lemon peel is a diff genus from the dwarf. In my 75 I'm going to attempt a bi-color and a flame and purchase them at the same time.
The angels are all so pretty, we can't bear to just have one!

Fishgirl you're right about angels. they are beautiful. I have had my pygmy since feb.9 do you think it would be a good idea to get another ??

I also have a pygmy at first he his alot, now he swims in the front and eats flake food from my hand. he is truely awsome. I think that you could put two different angels in the same tank if they look totaly different. Ex: Flame angel and pygmy angel. Not onle do they have different coloration, but they come from different areas of the globe and are different in body shape. Here's some insperation. There is a petstore that I know of that had a flame and golden angelfish on the same tank on display. The tank was only a 18g. <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" />

Pygmy and dwarf angels are both in the genus Centropyge, but I have always found that mixing Centropyge angels was easier than the larger angels. Try and add them at relatively the same time. Also you may want to have one of those guppy breeder traps handy in case you run into a problem. This allows an introduction buffer, and usually allows any two Centropyge angels to be mixed.
