I am going to setup a 125 gallon fowler and i want to get some dwarf angels. Does anybody have suggestions about how many I could put in the same tank?

Some of the fish I want:
coral beauty
lemon peel
bicolor
flameback
eibli
flame

I heard they are territorial and I don't want to get them if I can only have one or two in the whole tank.

I want to have mostly the angels with a few other fish like gobies.
 
Just taken my pygmy cherub back to lfs as he killed 4 of my fish. Are you planning on keeping corals?
Also mixing angels can be a disaster as they will fight with their own size/shape
 
Ya, what he said. If your thinking is you can have an Angel tank in SW like people do in FW unfortunately that doesn't work out. IMO, you need around 50+ gallon tank per dwarf angel if you plan on more than 1, and even then, you would be lucky to not have fights daily if you mix more than a couple in the tank.
 
I have a small lemonpeel and he doesn't like anything to get around his part of the tank. He hasn't hurt anything, but he was the last fish to be introduced and instantly chased the damsel and took over his spot.
 
my CB is awsome, never and i mean never picks at my coral and is fat and happy, i love taht fish i wish that he was not so hidden all the time. he is always in the rock work not in the free space of the water.

Same goes for my Lemonpeel. You have to watch the tank from outside my bar area, about 10 feet away for him to stay in open water a little while.
 
I have a coral beauty and I love it. It gets along well with the other fish and is always swimming around. It was one of the last fish that I added. That may help.
 
I had a 135 w/ 200lbs of rock and 1 fisheri,1atlantic blue pygmy,african flameback and lemonpeel,and the fisheri and atlantic ran the tank.you will be fine just don't get a fisheri they are true devils of the dwarf angel crew.

I had a ton of current to tho about 3000gph so it was natural sea current.so with no current they will just kill eachother.current is key!
