keeping more than one dwarf angel?

[melbfish20]

what are the chances of successfully keeping more than 1 dwarf angelfish in a 180 G tank if introduced at the same time?

With a tank that large, I don't think it would be much of a problem. To make sure, you should probably introduce all the Angels to the tank at the same time.

I only have a 75 gallon at the present time(will be building a 180 shortly)and I have a flame angel and a lemonpeel angel together and they are doing great, a little fighting at first but they have been together now for about 5 months and all is well.

With two angels, keep an eye on your coral!

Yup, with a 180gal you probably have a very good chance of keeping 2 together. You just have to be sure to get the right Centropyge species to ensure a greater chance of success.

I havent noticed any problems yet with the angels eating my corals, if they wanna eat the corals thats fine though, its only their instinct, I will be adding a blue stripe butterfly and a redtail filefish to the 180, and this weekend I should be setting up the 180. Hopefully everything will be ok.

a few more stocking questions

one of the first fish i get will be a yellow tang, do you think i have enough room for a 2nd tang ? I have 3 in mind 1 being a purple tang which may not get along with the yellow tang and blue hippo tang or powder blue tang which both might not be suited for a 180 G tank.Thoughts ?

the other questions is can a racoon butterfly go into a newly established tank or do i have to wait for 6-12 months ?

also the dwarf angels I am planning on getting are a flame and bicolor angels
