I had a flame back angel and a coral beauty angel for about 2 years. It can work just depends on the size of the tank...

depends

on things like the tanks size, the amount of rock/hiding spots in the tank, the size of the two angels, other fish in the tank.....

One of my client's tanks has a coral beauty, a flame and a bicolor in it, It is 90 gallon, they were all added at the same time, 1 day of fighting and then there was an understanding between them all and they got along.

if the system is big enough and you add them at the same time they can live togather. i have been successful keeping a flame and a coral beauty in the same tank a couple times.

munki · 03-24-2007, 09:09 PM

o well there goes that idea. i wont be able to add them at the same time. what size tank would i have needed?
-thank you guys for all the help

aquaman3680 · 03-24-2007, 09:10 PM

i would say at least a 4 ft tank!

munki · 03-24-2007, 09:28 PM

4 ft tank = 55 gallons right?

aquaman3680 · 03-24-2007, 09:29 PM

perfecto also makes a 4 ft 50 gallon tank, but yeah 55 is 4 ft

munki · 03-24-2007, 09:39 PM

i have a 55. is there any way i could get them both with out adding them at the same time?

aquaman3680 · 03-24-2007, 09:40 PM

i had my coral beauty in the tank for about 2 weeks before adding the larger flameback... Why cant you add both at the same time?

I have tried to do this twice with catastrophic results. I don't recommend it and neither do any of the experts. Dwarf Angels are VERY territorial and once one of them is established it's very difficult to add another. Recently I visited an LFS which had a CB and a Flame and it was very sad to see the CB getting beat up as it was by the Flame and the owner refusing to remove one of them, just plain stupidity IMHO.
