Multibar Angelfish Harems (In a 75 Gallon Deep Reef)

[Abyssopelagic]

I have been doing some research regarding a 75 Gallon deep reef for a trio of multibar angelfish.

Curious if anyone has had success with them in groups/pairs. I know that they are a bit of an obscure species, but that they like low light, cave setups and that the main issue with keeping them is getting them to acclimate/feed.

I’ve kept singles multiple times, and had a pair in my 450g tank with over 50 fish, for about 2 years … lost due to tank seam failure!
Never had low light, I’ll have to check some of my videos to refresh my memory!
Would definitely get another pair if I found them!

I have not keep that clad of Dwarf Angels. I am sure they are similar as all the Dwarf Angels. Add them small, at them most add 1 male and they will be fine. Dwarf angels are not open water fish like tangs so complex rock structures is better. I keep harem of Flame angels and Flameback angels in a 58 gal and they were fine.
I think Multibar is slightly larger than Flame. I don't think you will have any problem, even if I never keep them.
Best of luck. Keep us update so we can share and learn from your experiences and enjoyment.

Interesting I will definitely try it then, Thanks for your help! (hopefully will get the tank setup in the next year or two, but when I do I will keep y'all posted)
