No offense, but before asking what a person's tank size is, you should view the person's profile and read the rest of the thread. In both places, it says Mystic has a 180 gallon aquarium. Three posts up, Mystic just told another person that it is a 180 gallon tank also.
Sorry, like I said, I was not flaming you. It just seemed like common sense and would save Mystic, or the future poster, the time and effort of resposting the tank size.

Very nice fish, you did pick three of the more "docile" Large Angels. I have been reading post of yours since you started on these boards Mystic and you get so upset at people flaming you, but the way you post sort of eggs them on, just like the title and content of this post, it is very easy to pick fights with people. I find if you ignore people they tend to go away, by posting in the tone you post you bring out the nastiness in people. There are an awful lot of young people on this board and people who think they know it all because they spend all day on message boards. It truly is best just to ignore them, it is your tank and you can do what you want with it and with your money, but you also post things on a public message board so others have as much right to say what they thing about what you are posting about.
I think someone might have a chance with multiple large angels in a very large tank (10ft +) long term. My guess and from my experience (10yrs professionally in the business) you will probably have to pick two of them long term, or mother nature will pick two for you.
Wishing you the best for your tank (which is very nice by the way).

At the LFS I work at we have a bellus, blackspot, and watanabe angel all in a 175g tank. They were all added at different times. They're about the same size and all females if that makes a difference. For now they're doing fine, but if I remember correctly they haven't been together for more than a year. I'm not saying I'd suggest doing this with inexperienced hobbyists though.
I wish you luck with your angels M7. Sweet deal on the majestic!

Nice tank and good luck.
Im new to this so i'm wishing you the best. In one of my tanks iv'e got a bi-color angel and was wanting to add a queen later, and then some one told me only one angel per tank. I dont know if trying two angels is right for me (my luck I would kiss a beautiful fish good by), but it seems to be working great for you and I wish you the best. I look forward to more photo's in the future and was wanting to know what kind of skimmer you are using since you said something about not doing water changes.
thank you

Thank you. I only get an attitude after posting respectful responses in other threads and getting beat over the head. If you've read those other threads you know what I'm talking about. There are some people here who are so threatened by my no water change method that they openly pray for me to fail while "worrying" about the well being of my fish. Other than that, I don't think I've put up more than 2 or 3 purposely inciteful posts.

I know Queens are aggressive so you'd be doing good by putting it in second. I'm not sure how aggressive Bi-Color's are but basically if you've got enough room, all it will do is half heartedly chase the Queen away from it's main territory. That's what my Blue Face does. Basically it just says "Get outta my space!" but it doesn't aggressively chase the other two angels around the tank and bite them (the Majestic's tail was chewed up when I got him).
I use a Berlin Red Sea skimmer w/turbo pump. People say it's not the greatest but it works for me. A little more difficult to tune than the better skimmers, but my water is crystal clear.

Yeah, especially if he survives, which it appears he will. He's getting stronger every day and his chewed up tail is growing back nicely.
Basically, if you put them in at the same time none of them knows who was there first, and none of them has had time to stake out their little section of the tank. That's the primary cause of the aggression.

I have a 75 gallon and I tried to have two dwarf angels. I had the pygmy for about six months and then added a flame, and the flame was the one that went nuts, got very aggressive, chasing the pygmy all the time biting it. I had too move the pygmy to my 55.

Just do a search for Chemi-Pure, it was in the title of the thread. The problem started not because I use chemi-pure but because I use it AND don't do water changes.
Good luck getting that tape measure shot! Maybe you actually have a Koran with mutant pectoral fins
