dwarf angels

can you keep two dwarf angels in a 55 gal. with good rock structure and hiding places...many people say you can not...but ive heard its possible...

 

No, you will need a much larger tank to keep two angels. They will fight until one is dead. Someone here just had a thread on this, he has two dwarf angels in a tank and had to remove one of them because they kept fighting and nipping at each others fins and the like. I would say this would be a definite no.

 

here is a link to a thread about this

NO....
I had the misfortune of trying to do that in a 56 gallon aquarium by putting in a significantly large flame angel with a smaller shy pygmy angel that had been in there for 2 months. I thought that because of the pygmy's shyness and his lack of size that it would work but i was wrong, and i saw a completely different, aggressive side of him and he started to harass everything else until my hogfish put him in his place.

 

+1. Angels HATE each other

 

the smalest tank I have seen more then 1 angel in was 270 and they war large angles. here is the pic of them real nice

 

thanks for the feedback...

 

Well Hackem688 here is a new smallest tank where you have seen two angels, mine a 20(twenty) gallon high.

A queen angel and a blue angel


Well lets just say besides the point that my tank had not cycled, these two angels are no longer alive. They did not like each otehr at all, ever. If one ever went by the other, bam fight.

Moreover, prior to having the queen angel and the blue angel I had two french angels in there that were about 5 inches in size. These two guys i had to have separate with a plexi-glass or all hell would break lose.

 

what if they are mated pair? ive had books tell me that that was alright if they are mated

 

Just would to sya I ment were they got along
