Well I just lost my blue tang and my yellow tang to ich so I am trying to think of what to get now. I would really like to have a flame angel and a lemonpeel angel together in my 90 with lots of live rock. I know that certain angels will fight each other, what about these 2? I want hardy fish that aren't prone to skin infections like tangs and "the tang police" are always saying that tangs need more room than the 90. Any suggestions?

Here's a question to throw into the mix.
Are angels considered pretty hardy fish when it comes to getting ick? I'm sure someone knows...?

Instead of a lemonpeel, why not a potter's angel. I have a flame and a potters, both very beautiful and get along. I have coral and so far no nipping.

I like the lemonpeels myself but lots of fish in this hobby have yellow. I'd go for something more interesting. A potters is a good choice...

Potters are one of the most difficult of Dwarf Angels to keep and the Bi-Color is one of the most prolific coral eaters out of the dwarfs. I would look at the Rusty angel and look into some of the reef safe wrasses. Also the Lemonpeel and Flame would be good choices

I don't think the OP is growing any corals, but I'm not 100% sure.

Multicolor is WAY too expensive! Just don't want something that will cost that much to replace.
I think I'm gonna go with a lemonpeel and a flame. What about this stocklist:
lemonpeel
flame
2 oc clowns
royal gramma
male lyretail anthias
female lyretail anthias
sixline wrasse
foxface lo
mandarin
2 buddha cardinals
powder blue tang
I know it's alot of fish but I dont mind increasing filtration and skimming. Is there any specific care that these fish will need?
I don't have many corals now but I plan on it, will these fish be good in a reef tank?

If you don't want them to fight, yes get them at the same time. I didn't and my potters bullied the flame for a few days, but now they swim together quite peacefully.
I don't know how big your tank is, but another neat fish with blue, grey, silver, yellow, etc is a Blue Throat Trigger. Another very interesting fish and friendly towards others.
On other fish, very hard to find, and actually until a few days ago I didn't even know what it was, is a Blue Whiptail Bream. If you Google it, you will find a pic. It is a bluish/purple with 2 horizontal yellow stripes. The yellow glows and also glows in the moon lights. It can grow to about 7 inches in captivity (1 feet wild) and can eat crustations when larger, but I mush say it is beautiful...
