Flame and Emperor Angels?

[nickbuol]

I know the "rule" about similar fish don't get along. Would a flame angel and juv. emperor angel "get along" in a 75 gallon, well established tank with 3 perc. clowns, 3 green chromis, other misc snails and shrimp?
75 gallon, about 90lb live rock, 4-5in. deep sand bed. Only corals are button polyps that came with the rock 2 years ago.

We are looking at Christmas 2004 for a larger tank. We have found the perfect spot for a nice 180-220 gallon tank that we have been wanting for several years now.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'd purchase the flame now, wait until larger tank is stable and ready because Emeperor's juvie's are very difficult to keep if the tank is not established.

Emperor's as juvie's are pretty. Not to say they arn't when grown up. But they do change completly. I was in the pet store the other day and a guy was returning his because he didn't like the colors as it changed into an adult. That is a consideration. You might want to look into that before you make your choice.

If your tank is 2 years old it's well established. You already have about 18 inch of fish in a 75 which is really more like 65 when counting for water displacement. I'd add the flame first then add the emperor AND BE SURE TO GET THE LARGER TANK. YOU WILL NEED IT. Good luck.
