i personally have both in my tank along with a nox angel and a swallowtail angel i think the flame looks nicer if i had to pick one but if you decide to go with both just make sure they arent agressive with other fish in the tanks they are presently in and eat well those guidelines have worked pretty well for me
good luck

I've never had any luck putting two dwarf angels in the same tank. They always seem to stress themselves out with constant jousting. Apparently others have had luck. Go figure. In any event I do have 3 dwarfs in 3 different tanks. My order of prefrence is: Bi-color, flame, then the coral beauty. They are all great fish but I would suggest an established aquarium before you add. Good luck, you really can't go wrong with any of these fish.
P.S. - Some say the bi-color is a bit sensitve to captive life. I've had good success but again , they were added to an established tank.

Flame
Just FYI, Big Al's in Newmarket (Davis Drive) just received a livestock order with some great looking Flame Angels(~4 or 5 to choose from). They're asking CAD$69.99.
No CB's in stock though.
cheers...

It's colors are awesome under the lighting and he has more character than my flame and bicolor and also he's been with me the longest of my dwarf's. Just make sure that the one you do chose looks very healthy and it's eating before you buy it.</STRONG>
Hi Old yeller, how are the kids doing? If you have time can you check my post on equipment and DIY thanks Angelgirl

Hi Old Yeller,
Livin' north of the 49th has many advantages, but cheap marine fish is not one of them. ;)
Best regards....

im gald i live in canada for many reasons (no offense) but the fish are pricy. its the border issue that really tacks on ALOT of money! ( i think) hey nanook, how much are the blue linka starfish at Aqua. services???????? at mine i tried to order them but they said they were very rare might even have to wait a year and they quoted me a price of 35-50$ CADN. when i went to a lfs her in ottawa that only has marine fish and is owned by MARINE BIOLOGISTS! tehy said they often get linkas about every 2-3 months and ther only like 20 dollars cadn. there fish are also alot cheaper and better quality than aqua. service! i trust them more caus theyre biologists and they do it more as a hobby/ passion thanm just to raise money! it really good. just thought id let you know caus u may want to check ur lfs's in toronto. im sure there are more there than here in ottawa! nother question...... did you know a place called PICOVS?????????? if so did they have marine??? thinnk they closed down. anyways im glad we have aqua. services her in canada. peeps said they dont think there is a fish chain in the states! oh well. check ur prices.
