    Has anyone tried putting a Large and Dwarf Angelfish in the same tank? On several websites (Liveaquaria, Marinedepot) it says these fish are compatible. I was planning on getting a Flame Angel and a Blue Angel (juv). They'll be housed in a mature 150gal tank. I'm just concerned because although the websites say they are compatible, I'm wondering if the Flame will harass (and vice versa) since the Blue Angel Juv is very similar in shape/size to the Flame Angel. I think if the blue angel were an adult it wouldn't really be an issue because of the difference in size/shape. Would you introduce both at the same time into the tank?

    I had a Flame and a Blueface Angel, They did well together in the 120g, Friend took the flame when I was getting a newer fish that I had wanted to make room. and Traded in the blueface cause he got coral nippy. IMO Its all up to the fish if they will like eachother or not.

    I'm interested in reading people's opinions about this.

    Did you introduce them at the same time? And was the Blueface a juvi?

    Thanks. Any signs of agression at first? And were they about the same size initially?

    Eh, no they left eachother alone, The blueface was 2.5" and the flame was about 1-1.5
