I know there is probably no real correct answer...but I know for the most part it should be avoided...anyways my question is I have a 93 gallon cube tank and was wondering if I added 3 dwarfs all at once if it might be ok...I have no fish at the moment as I am starting fresh again...so I'm just doing some planning before I get started...I was leaning towards the bicolor angel, flame angel and coral beauty...like I said I'm just doing some research and planning so no need for lectures :~}

There are no guarantees when it comes to mixing angels, small or large. You have the right idea by adding them all at once. If they are all the same size, and you have lots of rocks, they should be okay. It's a gamble, but simultaneous introduction is your best shot at coexistence...

I dont know why I asked lol when I know the answer lol...I was just hoping to hear that it will all be ok lol...thanks for the posts guys I appreciate it...a while back I did have a bicolor and beauty in a 55 gallon for about 3 weeks and then one morning the bicolor was acting funny and then died that day eventhough he was the much bigger of the 2...I guess u never know what goes on when the lights go off...thanks again

Most on-line places will not sell you more then one dwarf angel at one time, they call to verify that they will not be going into the same tank. They are not iffy...they are deadly to each other. They are very active, swimming all over the tank, and a 93g tank just isn't large enough for them to be able to hide from each other. I have a 90g...one dwarf angel per tank.

Aleast u heed advice. Unlike some who are doing what they want no matter.
The bi color can be a tough angle to keep so it may or may not have been the beauty

I have a Coral Beauty in my 6' 125 gallon tank. My wife and I nicknamed him "Speedy", because he is always zipping around the tank. Every evening, like clockwork, he's doing laps (literally) around the tank just before feeding time. There's not a single inch of the tank that he doesn't cover, and the territory is all his. I've made the mistake of trying to introduce a couple of other dwarf angels over a period of a year, and neither of them survived. It's his tank, and no other angels are allowed... period. I don't know how long it'll be before I'm able to add more angels, but it'll have to be after this one is gone. I'm not sure how old this guy is. He was full-grown when I got him, and I've had him over two years... :confused:
