Show me your dwarf angels!

Here is a shot of my Bicolor Angel

Beautiful picture scrmbld33! I was wondering if the bicolor angel is reef safe... Does anyone have one in his or her reef tank?
 
Mine is in a tank with Green Star polyps, Kenya Tree, Feather Duster, Pulsing Xenia, Red Mushroom and some Zooanthids and it has not bothered any of it. I don't have any SPS so I can't say if it would nip at that.
 
Here are my two since I haven't seen a Half Black yet. They seem to get along just fine and I haven't had a problem with them since I got them.

Electric130 the Flame and the Bicolor angel are both in a 125 they have been together almost 2 years now. The Coral beauty is in my 75. I had her for almost 9 years now. I have had no problem with two dwarf in the 125 their is also a juv. emperor in there with them. The only problem I had is the Bicolor mows down zoo's. So no more zoo's for that tank.
 
So is saltwaterfish.com wrong? Or just too conservative? From their website:

A) Alert - This fish cannot be kept with other Angelfish. If you're attempting to purchase two or more Angelfish for the same aquarium it will cause them to fight and most likely one will not survive, so if you're placing an order that has 2 or more Angelfish in it we will have to place the order on hold until we're able to contact you to ensure you're not putting them into the same tank. If you understand they cannot be kept together, but would like to purchase two or more in the same order(separate tanks, group order, etc.) you will need to write in the Special Instructions area at the end of the shopping cart that you understand they cannot be kept together. Tremendous time and effort is put into ensuring the health of these fish and it is very important that you're fully aware two Angelfish should not be kept in the same tank.

I would love to keep 2 or more dwarfs in my 75
 
The way I look at it was that the Bicolor need a min tank size of 55 and the Flame need only 20 according to the Marine Fishes by Scott W. Michael. So I fiqured I had enough room for both to have territories. Also The Bicolor is non aggressive so he went in first than I put the aggressive flame in a few weeks later.
 
Thanks for your responses and real-life experiences. So would the following be okay in a 75 mixed (primarily fish):

Royal Gramma
Bi-color Dwarf angel
Blue Tang
Clowns (2) + Anemone
Flame Angel
any other

Is the order of addition okay?

P.S. Sorry to hijack the thread, but who better to ask about angels than angel owners?
 
It would be ok I think. You can put the clowns in first place in the list because they are very resistant and the blue tang in last because it's not a really resistant fish. it's ok for the angels.

i think you'll be okay. just be prepared to move one of the angels if they don't get along. it really depends on the individual fish. just like you can have 2 flames and one will nip at corals and the other won't. at one point, i had 2 hippo tangs. one loved to eat xenia and the other didn't. every fish has it's own personality. coolest combo i ever had was 4 royal grammas in my 90. talk about awesome color! anyway, back to the thread topic.
 
Hi Cath!!!

You told me that you didn't have any good pictures of your flame angel but the one you posted is pretty good! These fishes are so fast! It took me several minutes before I could have a "good" picture of mine. I'll post it soon.

Your pigmy angel is so cute! Do you think you could put the pigmy and the eibli in the 75g or they would fight? Looks like a lot of people are mixing different kinds of angels with no problems. Is the eibli as reef safe and as aggresive as other angels (ex: flame angel or coral beauty) ?

Keep posting pictures!!




(P.S: Cath, it's strange to talk in english together!lol If you want, you can call me tonight or send me PM ):rollface:
