    all dwarf angel fish are easily cared for by the moderately advanced aquarist which i would consider you probably about there. its the large angels that are notoriously difficult even to experts.

    Yea I am in love with dwarf angels :) I don't want to keep any unhappy fish. I think a larger angel would out grow my tank quickly anyways. I'll go with the cherub pygmy for sure and... idk im thinking coral beauty.. or multi color.. soo many. I hope they don't nip

    how large is your tank? 2 angels in a tank could be a bad idea unless it is large.

    Its a 40 gal breeder. I know certain species shouldn't be kept with any other angels, so im looking into what kinds could be kept with other dwarfs. I don't plan on keeping too many fish in this tank, since its 40 gal.

    you might be fine, depends on the angel. itll be a little cramped but it could work. just as long as there arent many other tankmates and no aggression whatsoever.

    just to keep things peaceful you will probably be better off with one dwarf angel, im not trying to rain on your parade but you have no idea how hellish it is dealing with two fish that constantly fight and that will probably end up happening. i would do one angel and keep the clowns and then do like a goby and firefish or something. that would be a nice peaceful tank. the other fish will be able to deal with the clownfish's bullying because clowns are not overly aggressive like damsels.... what type of clowns are they?

    I hear flame angels have higest chance to nip on corals compared to others
    Coral beauty has low chance.

    Actually lots of people keep coral beauty in reef tank, and I do too. He nips once a week If i dont feed the tank enough.

    I sold my coral beauty though, due to recent tank crash and had no where to keep him. And was gonna buy flame angel, but I hear they have high chance, so I ll probably go coral beauty again

    I actually don't know they came with the tank when I bought it, I dont know how to tellt he difference between percula and ocellaris at all. It's a mated pair tho. I probably will just go with one, its just sooo hard to pick .. :(
