Nick,

Blueface (currently in the DT)
Majestic (currently in the DT)
Passer (currently in the QT)
Regal (would perfer a Red Sea (but whoa they are expensive now), but Maldives or Vanutau will do)
Emperor
Queen

I spoke to Bob Fenner about my plan to having multiple large angels and he said it CAN be done, he said make sure you have at least 5 so that territories cant be estabilshed which should reduce aggression.

We will see how this goes....

so far the majestic and blueface are getting along, no issues <knock on wood>.

This was my issue with the Queen Angel I mentioned. I wanted to keep it, but didn't want to put it in my 90 gal (at the time) with the French Angel I had. This was the same issue I had when I wanted to have two French Angels. I've heard that they will fight among one another and it is true for some angel's. Sort of like damsels. I wish I didn't lose some of my old pictures, but that French angel you see in the picture above, I had in my tank and said I'd try and see what would happen if I introduced another. Well, I didn't get past floating the fish in the bag to acclimate it because they were going at each other through the bag. I ended up giving the other one to my buddy rather than releasing him in the tank.
 
Krish,

I am hoping that getting a smaller queen and emperor will reduce some of the initial aggression. I read an article in a fish magazine that said sub-adult queens are more territorial than adults..so this has me scratching my noggin as now I dont know what size for the queen (and emperor for that matter) I should get.

I have a very large PT trigger and do NOT want him to be the dominant fish in the tank..I may have to get the queen or emperor alittle larger to even out the tank. :)

Thoughts???
 
Hmm...Not sure. Ever talked to Lee about it? I've seen him recommend fish to people before and told them in which order they should be introduced. Maybe give him a shot. :)
 
Here's a photo of an angel I took over at Atlantis. They had quite a few in there, but this was a big tank. Big enough to house two manta rays!

nice looking queen !!!

If I add the Regal it needs to go in before the passer, queen, or emperor..If I dont add the Regal, then I'm thinking about adding the queen, passer, and emperor together since they all have the same amount of (potential) attitude :)
 
I always thought the Annularis Angelfish (Pomacanthus annularis) was the Angel refered to as King
I once bought one sold to me as a Koran aka Semicircle Angelfish, Semicirculatus. Buying the juvis and trying to keep them alive used to be a fun game for me decades back
