Dwarf angels

Zero is the correct answer. Sooner or later any angel kept in a tank under 70 gallons is going to go rouge on you and start killing tank mates. You may be fine for a year or even two, but your tank is too small and eventually any angel is going to turn to a devil.
 
liv aquaria says minimum talk is 70 gallons.


I have a 29 gallon with a coral beauty (that I bought from a box store before I knew what i was doing). I've had the angel for 2 years and is a peaceful member of the tank. I do have a lot of live rock with lots of various size passageways of the angel to explore. The angel does not nip at my corals. I do mix in "emerald" frozen cubes to supplement it;s diet with spirulina.

I am not advocating for putting a dwarf angel in a small tank. Nor do I know if a yellow needs are different than a coral beauty. I can say from experience a single dwarf angel can be healthy and vibrant in a tank smaller than 70 gallons. I wouldn't ever consider putting a second angel in the tank below 70 gallons given that paired fish can behave much differently and lots of space is often needed to keep them from stressing each other

I would say it's possible with enough rock and enough food I would add them st the same time. But even saying this I advise people with less experience to try to stay away from these kinds of matching. It's hard even for the more experienced fish keepers. Why would you want to set yourself up to fail. When there are so many other colorful fish to choose from. Try any of the reef safe wrasses There peaceful easy to keep and very active swimmers. Only thing is most are jumpers so lid is a must
