2 Dwarf angels?

[Archer]

I,m a complete newby(only had marines a few months) and through all my reading thought that you could only keep 1 dwarf angel per tank...however I have seen a tank(a large one) with 2 different dwarf angels? How large a tank would be advisable for this.
Thanks
Nikki

i,m a newby too, with two dwarf angels, a coral beauty, and a lemon peel. i made sure lfs were willing to take one back if they started fighting, they have been no problem at all. hth stevie

Hi Nikki. Dwarfs angels are very aggresive with there own kind unless they are in a very large tank ie 200 gall upwards. Unless you get a matched pair ie that have been brought up with each other. I have got a Bicolour in my 7x2x2 and i would not like to put another one in with it, i am upgrading to a 4x4x3 which is half as big again so i might add another one when i put it in there. HTH.

Thankyou both.Think I will stick with my single flame angel as I would hate to cause any unnecessary stress.:eek:

providing you have a tank over 150galls with plenty of rockwork in it putting both angels in together and in most cases should not pose a problem.most angels will squabble when first introduced but usually settle down within a few days.the two flames i have have not posed any problem.derek

hmm. ive always beleived fish of the same speices will fall out if of a similar colour there are some exceptions of course but its always worth considering this, i reckon put both in together so one doesnt have doninance

the smallest tank i have seen with to dwarf angels was a 350l tank but the owner made sure they looked completely different and where introduced at the same time.
but a bigger tank would be better to give them space to get away from eachother

So if I wanted to consider it it would be better to do it when changing over tanks?
