    Hey everyone. I am thinking of adding a flame angel to my tank. i already[STRIKE][/STRIKE] have a bi-colour angel and was wondering if they would be compatible. thanks.

    I am preparing to add a Lemonpeel to my tank that already contains a Majestic. With my case one is of the dwarf species and the other is the large species. I think mine will be okay. IMO the Flame and the Bi-Color will fight. If your tank is large enough you might be able to do it though. How big is your tank? I may be mistaken but I believe if you are going to attempt something like this then you need to add an Angel that does not have a similar body shape. A Flame and Bi-Color both have elongated bodies with a square tail end. A Coral Beauty however, is more circular in shape. I would try that. Hope this helps.

    I only have a 30 gal so maybe not the best idea.

    ya dont do that in 30 gallon, they will fight. I never tried it but i would love to have flame angel fish along with my coral beauty, but id rather not take the chance, and the tank is too small for 2 of them

    Have a Flame in my 180 and am planning on adding a Coral Beauty, a Cherub, and an African Flameback.

    Just so you know, Ryland (post #2) did add that Lemonpeel and he's having SERIOUS fighting and is going to have to return the Lemonpeel.

    Thanks. A false lemonpeel is much mellower and may consider one as well.
    I have seen the same 5 Angel combo in another 180, and they get on fine.
    With the way I have set up my rockwork, I thing it will be fine.
    And 'eh, if I gotta tear the tank apart I will!
    Thanks, again!

    I once tried a Rusty and a Flame in a 200. Didn't work.
