angels

[jes723ika]

can you put a coral beauty with any other angels? i dont think you can but cant find anything on it...
other question.. could a tang go into a peaceful tank??? if so, which kind is the best mixed with lawnmower blenny, coral beauty angel, percula clown
thanks

anyone know?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can mix angels all that well? The coral beauty is supposed to be a smallish, more peaceful type though I think so maybe you could if your tank is large enough and you get one that looks very different from the beauty.
As for tangs they don't get along well with other tangs so much (although you can mix them if they look different and/or you have enough room for them to spread out some). I've heard of people keeping several of the same type but you do need a big tank. Even one needs a good bit of swimming room but other than that there shouldn't be any problems with one.

thanks for answering about the angels.. i didnt think you could either.. but would the tang go well with a percula clown, lawnmower blenny and a coral beauty? or no?? I was thinking of the blue hippo

 

[angelsrock]

depends on the size tank you have. it would also be wise if you are gonna mix angels that they are different genus's

hippo tangs are peaceful, one of the most peaceful in the tang family. but what size is your tank? hippos need LOTS of room, even when they are small.

 

[jes723ika]

55 gallon...fowlr. yes that was my next question! how much room they needed???

 

[ithorian_r]

sorry but a 55 is not big enough. IMO 90g or more.....

 

[angelsrock]

you could put a couple cherub aka atlantic pygmy angels in there if you wanted(minus the coral beauty). i would stay away from the coral beauty if you plan a second of any other kind of angel.

in a 55g i wouldnt keep 2 of ANY angels. Although to be honest, i have and would keep a yellow tang with that group in that size tank. Although there will be trouble down the line, yellows dont seem to grow too awfully fast, and you can often get small 1-2" ones that are healthy. Another good tang choice could be a scopas or the mimic tangs, both of which are relatively hardy, small, and peaceful as tangs go.

thanks guys... we decided on not doing another angel.. not sure what we will go with

 

[angelsrock]

actually cherub angels are fine together as long as you have all females or one male and the rest female

 

[jes723ika]

i understand but i like my coral beauty and i dont want to get rid of her.. shes happy and loves my other fish..and they love her..

If you would like to add a tang try a Kole Tang. They love to eat algae and can live in your 55.
Your set-up is too small to house a hippo or yellow to adulthood. They really require 6 feet .

Coral Beauty's are in the dwarf angel family and should do fine in your 55 gal. They are pickers and will just pick at your rocks all day eating.
A kole tang as was said would be a good choice with the 4 fish you listed.
