Rooming a flame and flameback

[2wheelterror]

I have a 75g FOWLR with over 100lbs live rock with various fish but what I am questioning, from all the research I have done, is people's experience with rooming multiple dwarf angels together. I have a flame dwarf angel and want to add a Brazilian flameback dwarf angel. many sites say not to but I have many saying they may actually recommend it depending on the pair. I was wondering what you guys thought!

It might work. How big is the flame? I would say you had better odds if the order was reversed, have the flameback in the tank, and add the flame after. Does the tank have an area you can relocate the flame to, while the flameback is added? (for 2 days or so)

the flame is probably a good 3 - 3.5 inches which is supposed to be the max size for the flameback... i know the flameback is supposed to have more of a temper than the flame but i figured the flame being bigger would be able to keep his own against any aggression from the flameback and the flameback's aggression would make up for his lack of size... the only thing about the isolation is it would have to be in quarantine tank located elsewhere and there would be no visual contact between the two

Everything I read about having two dwarf angels told me that one would likely kill the other. I had a 3.5" flame angel and added a slightly smaller coral beauty. The first day they didn't like each other but they have been doing great together for over a year now. they even swim together at times.
