mulitple dwarf angels

Hey I was wondering what everyones thoughts on having more than one dwarf angel in either a 55g or a 90g both with lots of rock work. I know that normaly everyone says no more than one but I have also heard from a few spots that it is possible.

I have one in my 40g and one in my 75g, but I wouldn't try both of them in the same tank. I've read too many horror stories.
FWIW,
Mariner

does that include the Genicanthus species too if you put them at the same time?

If there is a will, there is a way....

I have one pygmy angel (Centropyge argi) in each of my two tanks. I often wondered how I can introduce another one in my 120. I understand that a few C. argi will live together if introduced at the same time and I saw pictures of them living together in various aquariums. I have not heard of any other angel living together like C. argi unless they are a mated pair except for Genicanthus bellus, which supposedly live in small groups.

I have a coral beauty in my 90g now and would like another smaller angel wether it be a dwarf or a pygmy but i dont want them to kill each other either, would kinda defeat the purpose I know there is plenty of rock work to hide and play in.

Your coral beauty is going to claim his territory. He will probably be mean to your new angel. You may have to take out your coral beauty and rearrange some rocks to confuse your coral beauty just before adding another angel so that he no longer recognizes his own place.

My cute little green banded goby attached a small panda goby immediately after I added the panda and killed him in the matter of a few hours. The size does not matter obviously.

If anyone can answer this directly, I'd appreciate it, too. I have a pygmy and wouldn't mind adding a Lamarck's.
