Is it possible for angel fish of the same genus to live together? I am hearing conflicting information. I really had my heart set on a majestic, but I already have an emperor who is an adult. I've read that you can't have two of the same genus together, yet i've seen the same genus together with no problem (just not two emperors, or two majestic, but both were pomacanthus).
My emperor is very docile, if not a bit of a wimp really. He was in QT with a gold rim, a clown, and a damsel and hid from all three. Now he's been in his own tank for a while a very long 150 gallon (7 foot total length) and has been quite happy although still quick to hide. I got him as an adult, and he is on the very small side, about 5-6 inches. I plan on housing a few butterflies with him, but wanted one other angel fish, specifically the majestic. However I don't want to risk fighting. I will probably have my look down tank done by the time I'm ready to introduce a majestic so I could always remove it and house it with the puffer I plan on getting, but if the odds are highly against them getting along I don't want to risk stressing him. He's spoiled rotten, is hand fed, and gets whatever he wants pretty much. I planned on making sure the majestic would be very young and small to start with so there would be no question which one was boss. BUT...like I said....
Anyhow, thanks for any input.
