2 Dwarf Angelfish ?

[Antman]

Hi any thoughts if I could keep a Flameback and a Flame Angel in a 60 G reef ?

I have a two foot cube which contains three. A Flame, a Cherub and a Golden. They all get along fine. I have never encountered any problems when mixing dwarf angels.

Dwarf Angel mixing in a tank of less than 100 gallons is much like playing Russian Roulette. Some have great success with it and others have dead fish. Personally I wouldn't do it, especially not with a Flame and a Flameback. Flameback angels and Flames are among the most aggressive Dwarf Angels.

I wouldn't put a flame angel in a 60.

How about a flameback and a starki damsel instead?

flameback and a starki damsel are the same color I am looking for adding color .I already have the flameback

An established flameback can be an absolute jerk to new additions. How long has it been in the tank?

Fair enough.

For red, how about a flame hawk or a mccosker's wrasse?

How about a Flame Hawkfish or some type of fairy/flasher wrasse.

So I pulled the trigger and got a flame Angel. So far everybody is playing together nice no aggression from either flame back angel or flame Angel.
