can dwarf angles live two gether in a 135

[clowntriggerfis]

can a flame angle and a bicolor live together? or a flame angle and a black nox angle? or all three?

I think if you have plenty of LR for them to hide in you will be ok. I had a coral beauty and flame in my 210g which is almost the same footprint. Im not sure about that combo... maybe someone else has kept them together.

thanks

I've always heard pairs aren't good, you want like 3+ to minimize aggression, but I may be wrong

True, mated pairs are great. just 2 of the same species are "iffy". But will usually find their own space if the tank is large enough.

so does that mean I could get 2 in a 135

 

[humaguy]

should buy the african flameback trio on dd tonight...

 

[clowntriggerfis]

not a big fan of them and am planing on geting dwarf angles in november or december it depends

I have been keeping multiple dwarfs in the same tanks for a while now.

Flame pair and a C. deborai -- though I did lose the small flame when I moved.

Had these two, along with a multi-colored for about a year. (( Now, it is the Coral Beauty, multicolored and the remaining flame together ))

 

[clowntriggerfis]

how big is your tank and how big are the angles

 

[Toddrtrex]

Oh, I did leave that part out didn't I.

The flames and the C. deborai were in a 75. (( that tank only has the C. deb in there, as for dwarfs ))

The CB, multicolored and venustus were in a 58; that tank is now a 65 which has the CB, multicolored and flame. The venustus is now in my 40 breeder.

None of the changes were made because of issues, just wanted to change things up when I moved.

 

[clowntriggerfis]

so you do you think a black nox, a flame angle, and a bicolor angle be fine in a 135

 

[Toddrtrex]

What kind of tank? (( given the forum I can assume fish only, but want to be sure )).

I would be a bit concerned about the bi-color; they can be a bit aggressive and do seem to have a poor track record of survival.

Do you have a back up plan if this doesn't work out? One reason I have risked this is because I have had another tank to move an angel into.

 

[clowntriggerfis]

yes fish only and I kinda have a back up plan my QT will become a tank for a pair of clowns and a blue spotted puffer so I could put it in there but it would be about a month or two later

 

[clowntriggerfis]

well also if that is not ready my LFS will take them

 

[Toddrtrex]

How big is that QT ?

Sure your LFS will take them? Sometimes they are hesitant to do that, for fear of disease.

 

[clowntriggerfis]

yes they will take pretty much any fish they will even take big fish and give you a baby one if you want but they dont just turn around and sell them they make sure they are healthy and the QT is 45 gallons

I kept a Potters and a flame in a 75 years ago. Both were introduced at the same time. There was a bit of aggression on both parts, but finally after a few hours decided to get along. On a side note: Todd, have you any problems out of dwarfs picking at your clam?

 

[Toddrtrex]

Clams are one thing that my dwarf angels haven't every bothered.
