how many angel fish and coral beauty?

how many angel fish and coral beauty can i put in a 250 gl tank,cause i put a rusty angel yesterday in the tank and today a coral beauty (centropyge bispinosus),and man they don't like each other,

what should i do?,buy another one(angel) so they won't be in pairs, or just let them kill each other?

by the way i already tried moving some corals and rocks around so it looked diferent for the first one.

any advice please ,always welcome.

thank's

well you do know a coral beauty is an angel right? in a 250 gal tank there should be no reason to fight

give them a few days and if theyre still fighting then choose one. also if the angels are of differant species they probably wont pair up. I know there are hybrids in the wild but ive never heard of any being spawned in captivity.

i would give them a few days b/c there is plenty of space for 2 dwarf angels. it may have been a good idea to introduce them at the same time to try to lower the chance of fights. as far as how may dwarf angels you can put in there i would stay wiht 2 or 3. me spersonaly i would go wiht the coral beauty flame angel and lemonpeel, but that's just me. also angels well fight wiht each other b/c the rusty thinks that it's his reef and soon the coral beauty and the rusty will establish a pecking order and their own teratory in the tank. As far as adding any more angles i would be careful and i would get another rusty or coral beauty as the fighting will not stop.

are there any good pygmies for a 90 reef. i really like the cherub and the coral beauty, too, but i don't want them to nip at sps and clams and such, or be aggressive with small fish.

angels are always going to be a hit or miss. i just recently got a cherub angel. right now he's in QT but if he starts nipping at corals i'll trade him in for another
