It was just a little joke? You seem to get defensive a lot.

My oppinion is there is always luck and calm fish but I was told not to take the chance and I will tell you like they told me "they problably won't get along so why take the chance at losing a $40 fish if there is something else you like"! By the way they where both the same size; no one was king-kong...lol!
like stated before in this thread...
your chance of success reduces greatly if there is/was an already established angel in your tank(3 months)...
im not saying it always works, but if you add them at the same time your chances are way better.
If you have an already established pygmy in your tank... id pretty much say youre a damn fool for even trying it, but i wont.

though I did have my herald and flame in a 55 gallon QT for several months with no problems, I personally wouldn't keep 2 or more angels in a 90 gallon. but it does sound like that LFS is overly anal. but whoever accused most LFS of knowing what they're talking about anyway?
He had kept corals and an anenome for just over 6 months when he got it and they were all doing great. Also it was a 3 hour drip acclimation so I don't see anything wrong there. Also he couldn't find any other reason that they would die other than killing each other.

and also, no mention of them of them fighting. highly unlikely that they killed each other in less than a day.
I have had many fish that died in the first few days while all other animals in the tank were fine. and none of those deaths were due to fighting.
