3rd pygmy in a 125?

[djkms]

So I have a cherub (added 1st) and a flame angel in my 125. When I added my flame (which is smaller than the cherub) it got chased around a bit but nothing serious, they pretty much ignore each other now. I would like to add a Potters Angel to the mix. Do you think I can get away with this in a 125 or am I pushing the limit with 3?

Edit: Sorry title should read 3rd dwarf angel not pygmy...

I am also intersted in the answer as I'd like to do the same in a 150g, a coral beauty, cherub and flame.

I dont think it will work as they will bicker and chase each other all day

I think you should be ok with adding another centropyge. I have a coral beauty a cherub and a flame/rusty hybrid in my 120g. If you don't want to risk it, however, you could add a species from the genicanthus genus

for quite a while in my 187 I had a potters, a flame, a coral beauty, and a bicolor and all of them got along great for around 10 months. Then, a relative added a fish without me knowing, it never went through quarantine, brought in velvet, and wiped them all out...

I think they should be fine as long as there are a lot of hiding places, and you rearrange the rockwork before adding the potters.

I recently bought and added 2 coral beauties as a pair, to a 150 gal. A few days ago, I noticed the smaller female had a tatty tail - so I decided I would go buy a fish trap today and get one of them out. Now she's dead - 3 days and he killed her. I was powerless to stop it.

The coral beauties share a tank with a small navarchus angel - the navarchus is slightly bigger than the deceased female coral beauty and slightly smaller than the male. There is no aggression between these at all.

The majest is small enough to consider a dwarf. Based on inter-species interaction, I plan to add a flame angel. I will do so using a breeder box to make sure there is no initial explosion of agression. I am quite optimistic however that it will be sucessful as all 3 fish are very difference in colour and from difference reef zones.

At the end of the day however, it is a gamble.
