keeping the same dwarf angels together

I've done quite a bit of research on different kinds of dwarf angels and compatibility in aquariums. I've nread numerous times that if you obtain SMALL/juvenile dwarf angels you can put them into the same tank togther. Has anyone had similar experiences? The reasoning behind this is that even if large adults are obtained so long as the genders are different thatthey willg et along, but typically angels who are alone for extended periods of time either change --- or become very territorial. Sounded kind of similar to clowns to me :-/ Thats why I am going to try adding 3 quarter sized angels to my reef and see how they do together. If they fight i work at a LFS that will take some back, but i was wondering if anyone has tried this. Im still undecided on the species...
Anyone here tried it before?

I kept a Flame Angel and a coral beauty in the same tank (125) for about 6 months without problems. They were introduced at the same time. I then removed the coral beauty to lighten the bioload in the one tank.

oh i mean the same type of dwarf...like 3 coral beauties or 3 flames...something like that. An article that i read at work had a guy breeding lemon peel angels and he put 3 babies in a 29!! they grew up and spawned regularly. Spawning would be the ultimate goal for me as well, but id rather theng et laong before i worry about that.

Ooops, no experience there, but if they were put in as babies, theoretically it should work, since they would develope a hierachy. I would think that you would want babies from different sources though to boost the genetic pool.
