J-Dog Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'm thinking about adding another dwarf angel into my tank and wanted to know everyone's opinion on having 2? I've heard people say that they have multiple angels without a problem and I've heard the exact opposite from others. I'm not sure if I should risk it or not.....help!

Trautman Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 In a 60 gallon? be careful, do some things to counter act aggression: turn the lights out when adding them, move rocks, feed right after adding, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I agree, 60 gallons is a little small for 2 angels. What angel do you have and which are you wanting to add? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trautman Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 You COULD do that, but be warned: they can get aggressive, and it increased the chance of nipped polyps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 What type of pygmy are you wanting to add? Flame Angel's are one of the more aggressive pygmy angels, I'd say it might work if the flame was added second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titus'reef Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Would you consider taking the flame angel out in the sump for a week or two and when you get the other fish just add them both to the tank. << (or the shorter version of it: is to put the angel in a bag, give it a good 2 minute spin, and the fish will even forget its name) lol Maybe that will help. Pretty much like adding both fish at the same time for a brand new start. Just a thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Dog Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 I could possibly take the flame out and put the two in together, but I have no way to catch the flame. He's too big for my fish trap, plus he hides in the rocks whenever I get close to the tank. This is becoming quite the dilemma (scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
city hunter Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I had a coral, a larger flagfin and a flame together in a 75. The flagfin ignored all and they bignored her, but the falem and coral would go at it now and then. The flame was bigger so she would put the cora in her place although the coral seemed quite more aggressive than the flame. I never really had an issue though. They had a love hate relationship lol.
