2 dwarf angels

[budjr8000]

would it be possible to house a potters angel and a half black angel in a 46 gallon bow?

 

[Teremei]

no not in a 46, I wouldn't try it.

 

[BTTRFLYGRL]

NO NO!! One will end up dead

 

[Tyrosinase]

The tank is way to small for two angels. I would stick to just one.

I have a pair of dwarfs spawning in a smaller tank than that. It is possible to try, but buy them SMALL (1 inch, 1 1/2 tops) and keep a close eye on them

and add them in at the same time.

IMO i think you'll get away with it

If you are set on doing this, try a couple of Argi's. Inland aquatics sells them in pairs. They are smaller than Potters and Half blacks and would be a much better fit for your tank. One Potter IMO, needs a 55+

I agree - and before you would put 2 different dwarf angel species in that size space it might not be a bad idea to see if others have those 2 in a tank & do they get along? Generally if they look totally different it would increase your chances they'd work things out - however fish and people see in different color channels, so it's hard for us to even know what the fish is seeiing. In the long run I think you will be much happier if you follow BTTRFLYGRL's advice. It's really cool to watch the courtship & spawning.

Potter's are delicate to begin with when you first introduce them to a system, so why stress it further by putting in another angel. You really shouldn't try two angels, even adding them at the same time, to anything smaller than a 100 gallon. People have done it in smaller tanks, I wouldn't chance it.

Do dwarfs typically get along with Genicanthus angels like the Bellus or Watanabei?

 

[ReefDoberman]

while they may fight ....it is possible. Just have a plan b if it isn't working out.

As a general rule angels of different genuses get along - however some angels are notoriously pugnacious fish and might pick on any other fish in the tank including angels -Passers for, example, come to mind

I don't believe I've read anything indicating the Geniacanthus angels you mentioned having belligerent personalities. Since the Geni's tend to be larger than the Centropyges, I can't think off hand of a dwarf species I would be hesitant to combine one with -- that said as sfauth said it never hurts to have a back up plan
