I have 280 gallon setup with an established 2.5" bicolor and a new 3.5" flame angel. They are getting along well enough that I am not worried but considering a second bicolor to spread out the flames aggression. Anyone tried pairing these and had it gone really bad or if it went well how did you do it?
 
Everytime I've ended up with a pair of dwarf angels it's been really cool and pretty bad. Dwarf aangels are protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning they switch from female to male. So having two angels of the same species almost certainly means you'll have a pair assunming they are not both males. The problem I've had is a mated pair of dwarf is very aggressive and they may not only take out any other dwarf angels and other smaller and similar sized fish they may take on larger fish they see as a threat.
