Mixing Fish question

[Stutters]

Hello

Is it ok to mix schooling bannerfish and a regal angelfish?

I remember reading long ago that they don't like it? but cant find the article.

thanks

We need to know more about your system to say for sure. What flow do you have? What size tank is it? What is the aquascape like? What sort of filtration do you have?

Hey so its 250 display volume. with a big sump. the flow are gyres which oscilate at 30% so the flow is relatively low. the aquascape is an NSA plenty of colums/arches etc

im more interested in the aggression of the species with each other. Since ive never had a regal

They should be fine together in your system. Just have a backup plan in case things go bad.

well what is the likelyhood of it going bad? are the species aggressive against each other?

Regal angels can be tempermental at best sometimes. It will need to be able to have its own space which I think is why the reaction is how it is. And they get quite large. It wouldnt take much for it to start beating them up.

250 L or G

They aren't particularly aggressive towards each other, but fish with similar lifestyles (eg. slow-swimming rock pickers like these) can be aggressive. The bannerfish is peaceful for the most part, but all angelfish can be slightly agro. I'd go for it, but be careful and use an acclimation box, or better yet, add them together.
