I really want to know if I can keep 2 juvenile Queen angels? I know they are not suppose to be in 2 tank. But is there a chance if I put them both in the same time?

"I know they are not suppose to be in 2 tank."

I am sorry, this is typo. I mean are they NOT suppose to be in 1 tank?? So, can I keep them together? I am serous.

No way, that would be a war zone. If not immediately, within a short time they would all be out for each other. You'd probably end up with one queen angel.

Sorry, it would have to be a REALLY MASSIVE tank to keep two alike. Even with the two you have now you need a 200+ gallon tank.

Golden angels (Centropyge aurantia) are a pygmy species thank goodness, and will be fine in the 55g. The blue face is going to need something along the lines of a 180g+ or something of similar dimensions, though. Do not add the queens, and if you do not plan on upgrading, you need to rehome the blue face eventually, likely soon.

Seriously, sometimes I think drunk RC members are playing jokes on us.

Any reasonable source (not marinecenter) will tell you the minimum tank size for a queen is 180 gallons plus.

Except for the aforementioned marinecenter, of course, which lists the min. tank size for just about everything as 55. Sorry if you got your information from their site.

Haha what are you talking about it seems to me they got their facts right. Look, they give the clown trigger and titan trigger a very spacious tank of 20 gallons, when I think a 24" trigger would look great in a 10 gallon nano reef. :D

I did maintenance on tank with 2 queen triggers the tank was 16' x 3.5'
x 4' and they still fought although a blueline about a 1/4 of their size was much more aggressive

A blue-face can live permanently in a 90 gal, IMO.
