is it possible? yes. is it something I would try? not without a really really big tank. There are a lot of factors that could go into it and whether you'd want to risk the fighting that could go along with it.

ok i have a 29 gallon bio cube tank with a clown, hippo tang, sailfin tang, blue damsel. the fishes are all 1-2 inches, the hippo is about the size of a quarter. plus i have a coral banded shrimp and a few hermit crabs. will it be ok if i add one angel, a small flame or coralbeaty angel?

Well I have a coral beauty and a 75 gal.. He pretty much swims the whole tank and thinks he's the boss.. He doesn't pick at anything except some algae here and there but unless you have a tank the size of Robbie's.. I wouldn't try it.

I'm afraid some of the fish you have now don't belong in the biocube. The two tangs will need a bigger home and soon.

i know they cant live in there forever which is why im planning to give it away when they get bigger, so if anyone interested in free fish i'll let ya know. i had the blue hippo tang for almost 2 months alrdy and it just grew 1/5 - 1/4 of an inch so far and still the size of a quarter. how fast is the growth rate normally suppose to be for my tiny tang?

I've seen some small tangs in stores, but I don't think I've ever seen one so young it was only the size of a quarter. I'm not sure how fast one would grow at that stage of development although I would have guessed faster than that.

Even if the fish you have now were all at adult size I'd probably not add a dwarf angel.
