Two dwarf angels together, good so far.

The first SW fish I ever had, a bicolor blenny died recently. He was about 7 years old.

So to temper my grief and for Father's day I bought a Flame angel. I've wanted one for years.

I already have a pygmy angel so I knew it would be a gamble. I was willing to set up a new tank, just in case.

The same store had 24 gallon nano cubes with a glass top, no lights. Weird, so I bought it.

It will be an African Cichlid tank at work if these two continue to play nice....

I just got a flame angel and a flameback angel, so far so good too. The flame is a little larger than the flameback. Chasing was only minimal when first put in my 180g tank. They occupy their own side of the tank and don't see each other often.

Enjoy the peace while it lasts. I have three in a 180 and the chasing is pretty frequent. Im currently trying to trap and remove one of them.

It can work sometimes. Usually if you are going to have problems, it will be in the first couple of days. Once the angels are used to seeing each other every day, you should be OK.

Just don't go around RC recommending that everyone do it, because basically, you just won the lottery...

Pair of cherubs for two years, then added flame angel in my 180. No problems. Now I am thinking about finding a mate for the flame, but am afraid to chance it.
