phisigs79 September 8, 2006 Share September 8, 2006 I was under the impression that two angels could not be housed togther but i swear i have seen it done over and over. Anyone have and experience with two pygmys together without them fighting? I was thinking about a bi-color that someone offered me awhile ago but have since gotten my multi barred.

rocko918 September 8, 2006 Share September 8, 2006 I have seen it done many times, but they do fight. I know someone who has a 220 gallon tank with a flame and coral beauty. they fight but go their separate ways. Can be done but will they be happy? One will most likely be stress all the time. I would avoid it with your tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phisigs79 September 8, 2006 Author Share September 8, 2006 yeah thats what i thought. I have a 75g and alot of rock but i would hate to see them fight and get stressed. Are Bicolors known to be aggressive? I know the Multibarred is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbartco September 8, 2006 Share September 8, 2006 Craig should chime in. I think he has a flame, rusty, and a coral beauty together in a 220. Not that I would recommend, but he thinks I'm boring with only 15 fish in a 280. Pretty sure the rusty rules and chases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEEPBLUE September 8, 2006 Share September 8, 2006 I have an Blue face, Majestic, coral beauty, lemon peel, and a couple more and I've never had a problem with fedding or fighting. Just like with adding new fish, feed the fish in tank right before adding the angel. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phisigs79 September 8, 2006 Author Share September 8, 2006 but in a 75g this might not be a problem? i understand a 200+ tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEEPBLUE September 8, 2006 Share September 8, 2006 It should be fine as long as the new angel is the same or bigger in size. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Jake September 8, 2006 Share September 8, 2006 mia culpa.. I have a Coral beauty and a Oriole Angle (Bi-color - same as my avatar picture) in a 55G, and they chase each other in rare occacions but not seen them square or fight each other. Keeping them together for about 8 month now. Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak September 8, 2006 Share September 8, 2006 what's any one think about putting a flame and coral beauty in a 55 together, with 80 or so lbs of lr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Jake September 8, 2006 Share September 8, 2006 the flame will eventually overcome the coral beauty... Flames are one of the most aggesive pygmy angels outthere and will try to dominate by force. I won't do it on a 55G. no sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BrentRowley September 8, 2006 Share September 8, 2006 Jason I live in herndon near the Dulles Airport.. doors to my house are always open to any WAMAS member.. feel free to stop by any time and take a look... I am sure you will like the 55G set up. I keep a flame and a cherub in my 55 reef. I added them at the same time and picked these 2 for certain reasons. They have diferent eye colors(don't know if that matters) and are not simular in size. The flame gave the cherub a pretty hard time for awhile but not enough to have to bail him out. I aquascaped my tank for a quick retreat if one of them had to esape the other. They don't seem to care about each other at this point and eat/swim in the same space peacefully. I do think it was a close call for awhile I probably would not try it again. I have seen it done at the LFS simply for the reason of trying to sell them together. It's no big deal for them to risk it because they can easily seperate them. I would not risk it one fish has staked his claim and the other fish is a new addition. Maybe it's easier to buy 2 that are already togther? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geofloors September 9, 2006 Share September 9, 2006 I have a Potters, a Bi color, male and female Bellus, and a Chrysurus all together in a 280g. The Bicolor is not aggressive at all. I tried to put a Golden in here about a year ago but the Potters angel and Chevron tang just about killed him. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phisigs79 September 9, 2006 Author Share September 9, 2006 I put the Bi color in there and the multi barred went up to it and talked some trash (nip once or twice) but they seem to like to swim next to another as of now. I think they will be ok. I was going to QT the Bi-color but i figured i should put him in since the multi bar went in two days ago, so it hasnt figured out it territory.
