Multiple dwarf angel types in 55 gallon?

[vikubz]

In the near future I will be setting up a 55 gallon as a fowlr. It will have a 20gallon sump with chaeto and skimmer to help with nitrate control. I have been mulling over what types of fish I would like and reading the posts here for ideas.

Can different types of dwarf angels get along together?
I was thinking about a total of 4 different dwarf angels and a six line wrasse.

Thanks!

As per the saltwaterfish.com website :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.

tike666,,,I'm going to disagree with you a little, only because I have kept more than one centropyge angels together in one tank.
I currently have a flame, coral beauty, and a pigmy in my reef tank and I'm looking at adding another.
In the past I've kept up to 4 of the centropyge angels in single tank.
But I have to add, these tanks were all atleast 100 gallons.
I don't know if I'd try 3 or 4 in a 55
And I do admit that it is a 50/50 chance you will see some aggression in a 55 with even just 2.

After saying that , my current tank is a 240 gallon.

I had a small collection of Centropyge angels in a calurpa planted 90 gal with a lot of live rock. They got along fine. Be that as it may, a 55 would be asking for trouble and stressed fish.

Looks like Marty and I are cut of the same cloth :lol::lol:

I had a flame angel, coral beauty, and a eilbli all in a 72 gallon tank with no problems ever; but as stated above, a 55 seems a bit small.

If it's a standard 55, the problem is not the volume, but the shape. It is a show tank and not much of a foot-print. What is important to fish is horizontal and depth, not the height. So that tank should be considered to be about a 35 gallon in biological support.

Thanks for the info. Perhaps _a_ dwarf angel
