Dwarf Angels

I have a 180g DT. Is that enough room for flame and coral beauty dwarf angels? One of each. Only have a Goby and fork tail currently

Yes, that will be fine. Just add them simultaneously.

Agree, but sometimes adding only two can lead to them to fixate on each other and can spiral downhill quickly -- even in a larger tank. For best odds, you should try three (or more) dwarf angels. Be sure to properly treat and quarantine as the odds of getting 2-3 angels without velvet these days is almost zero

Thanks. What other dwarf angels, for a reef tank, would you recommend?

Just to piggyback, when you QT 3 at the same time should you divide them off in the tank using egg crate or something or can you qt them all loose in the same tank?

I've had success only adding 2.

Any dwarf angel is a risk. Flames, coral beauty, potter's, vlamingi, eiblii are some of the 'safer' species, but all have been guilty of nipping.

I would keep them seperated in qt.
