Can you put an african flameback angel and a flame angel in the same tank? 90 gallon 100+ lbs of live rock Thanks
 
Not sure what the AFA is but Im willing to venture a guess of it probably would yield the results that were postitive.. Esp if they look similar..
 
Just Googled... it's a dwarf. Trouble most likely. A few people have pulled it off, but definitely not the majority who have tried it. They aren't any fun to catch, and if they fight one will end up dead.

He is a cool little angel. I got him at warehouse aquarium but Ii have always wanted a flame angel as well.
 
They are tough fish. I think you will have a problem being they are so similar.
My flame doesn't take anything. Not even from the powder blue
 
I've been planning to use 5x10 gallon tanks (drilled) turned sideways, side-by-side, just for this reason. I LOVE centropyge angels, but they don't get along, so I'll have a system where they each have their own room! I just hope they don't all bash in their brains when they see each other!
 
Not recommended but if you were going to try it I'd suggest adding them at the same time.

I have a customer who kept a Flame with an Atlantic Pygmy (C. argi) with no problems.

YMMV.

you could paint the side with aqurium paint so they can't see thru. i had a neighbor as a young kid and this man had maybe 12 10 gal tanks built into his wall with a room behind to manage them all. it was very cool to see as a young boy, they were probably individual tanks at that time, i don't think folks were drilling tanks back then, what a job of maintainece he must of had. this was 40 yrs ago, they were freshwater tanks :sad:

what about a 40 long with three dividers of colored plexiglass(no see thru) drilled with tiny holes for flow, input water at one end exit the other end.
 
I have kept 4 dwarf angels at the same time before without trouble; flame, coral beauty, half black, and potters. The only way to do it is to introduce at the same time and keep them well fed. They need plenty of room to graze and places to hide. You can't keep 2 together. It has to be 3 or more. Talk to Steven at Marine Designs. He had 6 in a 58 gallon.
 
Eibli isn't really reef safe, IMO. More risky than some of the other Centropyge angels.

They are pretty though - one of my faves, just not for a reef tank.

I'll have another one again. I had some kind of unknown happen to my tank a few months ago and lost 3 angels 3 anthias and a tang. No Polyp extension on anything. Everything just looked bad. I did a massive water change and saturated the water with O2. Everything recovered that was still living. I'm still on "hold" for fish but it won't be long.

...and make sure the live rock is VERY well established. They are all heavy grazers.

+1. I've been told that several different times.

Care to guess what's suppose to be going from my 20 gallon to my 95 gallon next month...guess I better keep him well fed. heh
