    So I've decided I'm a glutton for the things people say shouldn't or can't be done... within reason of course. ::)

    So tonight at my LFS I saw two beautiful dwarf angels. One Fire and one Coral Beauty. Well I know these two don't like to get along well, but there is the possibility that they could if they are added at the same time, they are small, and you have a large enough tank with plenty of rock work. I had the itch to get a fish, and I couldn't very well leave without making it a challenge! So I got both. ;D

    So far so good. They have been in the tank a little while. I see there is a some tension, but they do seem to be OK together at the moment. Updates and pictures to follow.

    a buddy of mine has 3 dwarf angels in a 125 gallon without a single issue. You should be alright.

    My buddy got his flame angel with the tank. It's a 75 gallon. Added the coral beauty after about 6 months in his house. After a few hours of the flame chasing the coral beauty around, they were fine, and have been since. About 2 years now.

    I love my flame angel. She's never been an issue with the corals. You'll be very happy!
