SRC Member jyoon Posted July 5, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hi Bro Coral Beauty might be possible as midnight is normally shy and thus shuold be 1st dwarf in your tank. You may notice that I have 7 dwarf angels and they are introduce in this sequence: Bi-Color pair - 2 years old Midnight - 1 yr 9 mths Coral Beauty and pyypmy - 1 year 6 mths (introduce togather) Flame Angel - 1 yr Argi Angel - 9 mths (last in my list) Hope this help.

I have a flame angel and a very small Coral Beauty in my 4x2x2 tank.. The Coral Beauty (2/3 size of Flame) was introduced around 5 months after the Flame.. so far so good.. only minor chasing around.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryz_ Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 It is really a hit and miss chance... I used to have a angel only tank but lost all of them due to over dosage of medication. It is a 2 x 1.5 x 1.5... 2 x Bellus(Female) 1 x Flagfin(Juvenile) 1 x Lamarck Angel 1 x Coral Beauty 1 x Colini Angel 1 x White Tail Angel 1 x Midnight Angel 1 x Multibar Angel 1 x Venustus Angel 1 x Scopas Tang 1 x Powder Black Tang 1 x Regal Angel And some Wrasses,gobies and misc fishes The introduction process is important..

dnsfpl Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 any tips in the introduction process? i already have a flame angel in my tank for months thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryz_ Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 any tips in the introduction process?i already have a flame angel in my tank for months thanks Basically is using the Betta Box and Mirror Method. I normally will place the angel in the betta box to let the existing angels get used to the the new angel... Up to a month depending on the situation and it will allow me to pump up the new angel so that it have better chance of fending off the chasing when introduce.. After you introduce the angel, put a mirror beside you tank, so that the angels will be distracted by their own image than to chase the new angel... This will carry on up to 1 week.. Depending on the aggression level, so have to moniter daily.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member dleecool Posted July 6, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted July 6, 2009 Try not to introduce only one new fish at a time, as this will become the target of old birds inside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnsfpl Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 but i scare intro too many together will cause ammonia spike & stress is 2 at a time ideal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryz_ Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 but i scare intro too many together will cause ammonia spike & stress is 2 at a time ideal? 2 is quite okay.. Consider their size, it will take lot to cause an ammonia spike in a 3ft tank.. 3 might be pushing it.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryz_ Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 You selling your corals for angels? The two angels you are buying are relatively safe for corals.. Not sure for lps but they are okay with softies.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
