Flame Angel and Coral Beauty compatable?

jasonkola · 02/10/2006, 11:00 AM

I have had a Coral Beauty for some time in my 55 gallon fowler I was thinking of adding a Flame Angel. will this be ok. I have read that you can keep dissimilar dwarf angels. these seem pretty dissimilar to me. what do you think. any experience with this combo. also was considering a yellow tang also.

I would not risk it in this size tank

I agree. Dwarf angels of different species (or even the same species) usually don't get along in smaller tanks.

flames tend to be one of the harder angels in my experience to get along with other angels.....

I have a flame & a coral beauty in a 100g- the flame does not care for the CB in his territory - the CB will be a happier fish when I upgrade to a larger tank.
He is very tolerant of the Herald's angel - they get along great. However, a Herald's angel will outgrow your tank.
I would not necessarily assume that because the flame got along with the Herald's that it would be OK to put a flame with a lemonpeel though as lemonpeels are known for having some belligerence.

Also this is just anecdotal info from 1 tank
