Is there more than one dwarf angel?

Post by felixon »

I've read that angels can be territorial, which makes me think you can only have one per tank. Can anyone confirm this?

Are they safe for a reef setup, by the way?

Any advice or experiences you can share would be great, thanks.

What size tank are you planning to keep the angel in - that's a big factor here. If it's large enough, I think you'd be alright. The thing with dwarf angels is it's a bit of a gamble - some can be fin nippers, while others aren't.

If you have a lot of pricey corals, I'd probably err on the side of caution, but if you keep your angels well-fed, they might just work out in a reef setup.

It's a 250 litre tank, so hopefully that's big enough.

For keeping two in the same tank, I'd say you'd want at least 75gal, so your 250 litre tank is actually a decent size. However, as for being reef safe, it's really hit or miss - some people have no issues, but others aren't so lucky.
