Let's see some Angels!

Some fantastic pics in this thread. I have a question about how you guys are keeping multiple angels in the same tank. I have a 75G mixed reef with CB. He's definitely the boss of the tank but not overly aggressive towards tankmates. He is generally peaceful and very active. Picks at the LR and algae and eats pellet daily but leaves the corals alone. Only seen him pick at a lobo one time as one head was suffering STN. I would love to add a lemonpeel but everything I've read says no more than one dwarf angel per tank.

What say the RC?
 
My pics I took today (can't believe how well these two came out :lol: )

That Bandit is sweet!

And cmart28 that is one of the nicest flagfins I've seen!

Very nice angels everyone!!!
 
Bevoboy: Your tank is large enough for two Centropyge for sure. However, for best results you add all the angels at the SAME time, so territory issues don't come up as much. Everyone being sort of confused of course..
In large tanks, you add the less aggressive fish first ( Actually, you do this with ALL fish!) then the more aggressive last.
Lots of hiding places & stuff to help as blinders aids in curbing aggression.
Supposedly, the japanese have become REALLY good at this..

Thanks guys!
What temp are you keeping your tank at?
~ 70F. I have a chiller hooked up but it's yet to run... damn MI winters! It will be kept 70-72 F at all times. Corals look great and there's also a Serranocirrhitus latus in there with him.

Thanks for the feedback. Lemonpeel's are one of the more aggressive species of dwarf angels, yes? So do you think adding one to a well-established tank is worth a shot? My aquascape provides a lot of caves and other hiding spaces. Add one and closely monitor?
