Dwarf angel compatibility w/ another dwarf angel

[drouner]

I'm in the process of tearing down two seperate tanks, mine and my dads and trying to combine LFS from both tanks.

I currently have Multicolor (Centropyge multicolor) that I want to keep. My dad has an African Flameback (Centropyge acanthops). It would be nice to keep them both, but my tank will be a 34 gal Solana. Not sure if would be compatibile in such a small tank.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

While a number of people on that thread (me included) said it might work in a 75 gallon tank, I would not try this in a 34.

I have had my acanthops for 3 years, in a 67g and would not think of adding another dwarf. He would go ballistic.

I should say I was was thinking about adding them at the same time, new tank new territories. Probably won't work but I thought I would ask.

Going to be a longshot but if you are just keep a close eye and introduce them at the same time. 34g is to small for 2 angels but you may get lucky. GL

Sounds a bit small to me. My C. acanthops is a little terror, except all his tank mates are bigger & more aggressive. He does have a C. bicolor as a neighbor, but this is in a 60 gallon. There was a small brush war for about three weeks before things settled down. Flamebacks & Multicolors are amongst the *more* aggressive dwarf angels. That is an awfully small space for the two to share, IMO.
