What should I do ? or thoughts on angle in the same tank ...( the bio-color is small like 2-3 inch ) :notsure:

I think some people will say you MAY be able to get bye with two angels in that size tank. I tried it in my 75 and it didn't work.

Yes, it may work, but I wouldn't risk it. There is plenty of other nice fish that you would not be taking such a risk with.

bicolor angles don't take shipping stress very well. they aren't the hardiest fish in the first few weeks of aquarium life.
like lion said, there are so many other options for nice fish, especially in a 150

I think the issues depend more on what else is in the tank (fish-wise), what you do when you introduce him (making sure lights are off, possibly rearranging rock work, or even isolating your BI for a week or so untill the flame gets adjusted), and what if anything you put in at the same time (introducing more then one fish at a time when you have a possible problem can help lighten the load on that one fish, For example, We managed to get a yellow accept a purple tang in his tank by adding a pair of regal angels at the same time, the yellow did not who to pick on). So if you do not have much in your 150, wait untill you see a couple of other fish you wwant then put them in at the same time (just don't put to many in, don't want to overload the system)

why would you put 2 regal angels in the same tank?
anyway, i'm not arguing that the two pygmy angels can't be in a 150 together. i'm just saying that the odds aren't in your favor, and there are so many others to choose from.
