Multiple dwarf angels?

[RobNJ]

I am looking to stock a new 120g FOWLR. I have approximately 180 lb. of live rock.
I would like to add 2 or maybe 3 dwarf angels. Is this possible? Or will it be a fight to the death? Any suggestions on combinations would be appreciated.

i have a (in order of introduction in my case) coral beauty, 1/2 black, bi color and cherb with 2 large angels (asfur and scribbled) and the only angel/angel issue i have is an ocassional get out of my cave chase by the asfur towards the bi color in a 210g

I don't think you'll have any problem with that much LRs. I used to have 3 flame angels in the 75g and since upgrading to a 180g I've 6 flame angels, a venustus and a colini angel with about 260lbs of LR.

Thank you for the information. I will give it a shot, worse case scenario I have to return one.

Are any dwarf angels better for mixing?

Well when my purple tang and moorish idol came out of qt i had to use the mirror trick because my powder blue tang was being a jerk... the only angel that the mirror (reflection) had any effect on was the bi color he did not like to see his reflection at all infact the bicolor spent as much time fighting his reflection as the powder blue tang, the goldstripe maroon clownfish, and the lunnar wrasse so from that observervation i would not get more than one bicolor.. now that being said my drawf combo of the bicolor, coral beauty,1/2 black and pygmy cherb get a long with each other with no problem

Very cool, thank you for the input on the angels.

I have had a cherb in my 180 for about a year. I added a golden pygmy several months ago. The cherb chased the golden a little the first day and has left it alone since.

What I am gathering is a small tank should house 1 dwarf angel. Larger systems, with adequate rock and hiding places can support multiples.

I love pygmy angels and I keep them in colonies or prs. Right now I have a trio of cherubs in each tank, a pr of potters in one and a trio in the other and in my nano (24 gal) I have a fishers, a potters and a cherub. Except when introducing new ones they seem to get along really well.
