I had two in the same tank for a while and they got along just fine.

You could post in the 'feedback & questions' area about your PMs, it shouldn't take long to get an answer

About the angels, I've successfully kept several Centropyge angels together in the past, and right now I've got two that get along well.

I don't recommend trying certain combinations -- you want to make sure they're well matched in terms of personality. Some dwarf angels are bold, others are very shy, and it's not really related to their size. I would NOT put a midnight angel (C. nox) or a rusty angel (C. ferrugata) with any other dwarf angel -- these two are very shy, especially the rusty.

You could likely mix-and-match cherubs, flames, coral beauties, flamebacks, Potter's, Eiblis and lemonpeels with success. I've had as many as three together at one time (flame, coral beauty & halfblack), but it only worked well for a few months and then I had to sell the halfblack back to the LFS (he was downright nasty). I don't recommend combining more than two in a tank, and even then it may or may not be a long-term success.

I've got a coral beauty and a Potter's, and the CB tolerates his new tankmate well but does take occasional dashes towards him at feeding time. Only time will tell if the CB is going to relax completely or if he'll need to be removed -- that's the risk of combining these fish; sometimes it works, sometimes you have to go fishing.
