Well guys i went to my Lfs yesterday (as it was my B,day) and purchased 3 bicolours!!! I read up on them first and found that they actualy do better in groups:confused: Anyway i ast how much for 2 as they seemed to be paired up and had pushed 1 away from where they were hideing and was suprised when he told me £52 so i thought il have them(usualy about £32 each) then when he went to catch them the 2 were actualy protecting 1 big one that was hidden so...... after a bit of serious thought and talking i got all 3 for £75

I know ive took a risk but in the last 24hrs my tank has looked amazing with these 3 actualy shoaling around in the tank fingers crossed it stays that way and il try and get some pic's but my camera is garbage:(

Sounds amazing what you've bought, can't wait to see some pics?

I tried to keep one a while ago now but my Flame angel had other ideas so had to rehome it, good luck with yours.

Hi Andy flames and coral beautys are notorious for being bullys, the bicolour is a very docile fish and as said can be kept in groups. I had a coral Beauty that killed a Kole tang that i had and it was half the size of the tang. HTH Twiggy:D:D

Hi Mike you are best doing a Google m8 as they are loads of Angels, it could be a juvenile which will be a different colour to an adult. HTH Twiggy

Which one was in first or were they bought together. I tried a bi-colour after my flame had been in for a good while and the flame just wanted to kill the bi-colour, had to remove him the same day.

I had the same befor i wiped out,but i turned the lights off and sneaked the bi colour in they fought for a couple of hours but after being in the dark for a while the next day they had settled and were fine together;)

Hi as you know all fish are different, much like us humans some argue some dont. You could probably put 12 flames together with 12 Bi colours and you would not have any bother and then you could have WW 3. HTH Twiggy:D:D
