More than one pygmy angel?

[jeff33436]

Hi all-
I recently added a Coral Beauty to my 55 gallon tank and he (she?) has become my favorite! Would like to add a different kind of angel- maybe a Bi-color or other pygmy. Anyone have any thoughts? Can you put two different pygmy angels in the same tank?

Although it probably has been done before it is not a good idea at all, dwarf angels are very territorial to other dwarf agels and it is reccommend one per tank unless your tank has lots of LR and is fairly large, otherwise no, and sometimes they are even agressive if the tank is large. Mostly depends on the fish.

Darn, I was going to add a Coral Beauty and Flame Angel to my tank. I guess I'll have to decide which I'd rather. Any suggestions on who might be a better inhabitant of my new reef?

I think the flame angel is a little more reef compatable than the coral beauty but both fish are hit and miss. Sometimes they will eat corals and sometimes they won't just depends on the fish, if I had to pick one I would go with the flame angel, they are very pretty and I think better for reef tanks but not totally compatable.
