Currently have a fireback angelfish in my 350l corner aquarium and wondered if it is ok to add other dwarf angelfish,was thinking of a coral beauty, or a dusky cherub angel, thanks guys |

Some are just paint nasty, so there are no guarantees. I would add at the same time and wouldn't try it in a tank smaller than 5 foot long.

Make sure the new angel is larger size wise than the established angel. I've done it before, shouldn't have a problem. Not like you don't have the space.

I had to drain my 240 to catch them a few years back after trying it.
Eible, Coral Beauty, Flame, and a Bi Color. Got along fine for months, then all hell broke loose. It can be done, I've seen it several times over the years. Good luck. |

there is a good chance it won't go well.

Try adding a small fireback angelfish if you have enough hiding places hoping they pair up? Since my Large male Flame Angel would not allow anyone in my tank that's what I did, now I have three

Just moved 2 of my dwarfs (( including a "fireball" )) from my 210 into one half of a 75. (( Coral beauty and Flame are in the other half, separated by egg create --- in the process of building a new house. Combined 2 tanks into while for the near future )).
They got along just fine in the 210 -- so much space, why wouldn't they. Will see how they do in a 2 foot section of a 75. For the first 3 hours there weren't any issues. However, that tank is set up at my future mother-in-law's place and I only see it twice a week, at best. Ready for transport.
