Qt 2 dwarf angel together?

[reefwisher]

I going to get a coral beauty and a flame angel at the same time. Will it be possible to put both of these angel in a 20 gal qt tank for the 8 weeks qt time without any problems.

I would say no, but have not had experience with it. so mayb someone who has can chime in. how big are they?

I don't think it's a good idea, unless the coral beauty is quite a bit bigger fish. I have two flame angels and they gave a newly added coral beauty a very rough time in a 240 gallon. They were roughly the same size, but the coral beauty seemed like a much slower and weaker fish.

I would put a divider between the two for the entire time. Coral beauty's and be cruel, same with flames. 20 gallons does not give much breathing space.

I've done it several times in a 20L. Sometimes it works out fine (extra PVC caves help); sometimes you have to separate them. It also helps if they're (roughly) the same size, and introduced to the QT at the same exact time.

I wouldn't do it...flame is an aggressor...at the most use egg crate for divider...

I will probably just get one (flame) as thinking 2 angel in a 40 breeder tank will not get along.

I had a flame and a potters in a 30 gal qt no problems. I was a bit worried because potters can be a shy passive fish. Every fish is different I took the chance because the fish were housed in the same tank at the fish store so all worked out for me. Good luck
