Coral Beauty and Pygmy Angel ?

[Drummer98]

I have a Coral Beauty and a Scopus Tang in QT right now. I just got an opportunity to get a Pygmy Angel for next to nothing.
Would these 3 cohabitate or would I have a fight on my hands? They will be going into my new 60 gal breeder that only has 2 clowns in it so far.

What other pigmy angel? A coral beauty is a dwarf pigmy angel. I have not kept two together but have read it can be done. I have also read I didn't work out. I imagine tank and rock scape come into play. I'll be trying a flame angel and coral beauty together in the future because have to move the coral beauty. They'll be going into an 84x30x25 tank tho so I'm optimistic the extra room should help with aggression.

I believe it's a Cherub. I haven't seen it yet and the owner just called it a pygmy angel.

Keeping multiple dwarf angels seem to be hit or miss. It seems to have greater success if they’re added to the tank at the same time.

I’ve currently got a Lemonpeel and a Flame in a 10 gallon QT and they are getting along perfectly. They’re headed to an 80 gallon DT in a few weeks so long as they keep behaving.

Just make sure you have a backup plan if it doesn’t work out.

These three fish can be very aggressive. As said above, often works better when fish are added simultaneously rather than giving one of them a head start at setting up territory. A 60 gallon tank may not give them enough individual territory, so watch closley.

The Coral Beauty and the Scopus are getting along just fine in the 10 gal QT. It may be safer to pass on the Cherub as he would have to go in that same QT with them and then start the qt time all over again.
