    I currently have a Flame angel in my 50gal tank and i was thinking about getting this little guy (the Eibl's Angel that is). He is smaller then my Flame and i know that angels can be agressive toward eachother. Being diff. breeds of the Dwarf angel family could this be done. My LFS guy did tell me that its not impossible but it wouldnt be easy either. ???

    I wouldn't do it unless you have a 100+ gallon aquarium

    They are totally different colors and I have seen two different species of Dwarf Angel get along in the same tank. The good new is if you try it is, if they get along at first they will get along. If the don't get along the flame angel will turn PSYCHO right away so you should know about it soon enough it keep the Elbi from getting hurt.

    IMO in your case, don't do it. You have a resident flame, it most likely won't take to your new eibli. Eibli's are much mellower then flames.
