Ok, true but the average person on here is just going to see, "Hey, I can have 2" in a small tank then there are 2 more dead angels. :notsure: I have a pygmy and a queen juvi in my 125. Would I recommend my entire fish list, NO! Barry

The poster asked about a 150g.....asked if that is possible and if its been done......and about a technique.
So I answered, this sounds like a hobbiest thats searching for answers, not someone to scare them.....the poster said that they heard its impossible, may have heard that here too.

IME, if the system has lots of live rock for shelter and grazeing, then they should be fine. There will always be an occational meeting where the Flame will/might chase the CB in to the rocks but not follow it in, in an attemp to injure, in larger tanks they are not near each other so much anyway. Over time, my CB began to stand its ground and the Flame is much more tolorant.
I would worry if the '' system '' is established and healthy enough for them more than about compatability. Many Centropyge sp. do not survive long due to those ( and tank size
) kinds of issues. Several months does not mean they are home free, but its a good sign.

I had a coral beauty and a flame angel before I found out I probably shouldn't. I added them both at the same time, and they were fine for the first, probably 3 months. Then the flame started chasing the coral beauty all over the tank, he soon started really picking on him.
