Flame Angel

I have had good success with combining two of the same genus and those 2 as well but I would not recomend doing it. The way to do it is to rearnge the tank to re distribute teritories as with one centropyge in the tank, they will claim the tank. You can however get away with adding one of a different species generally with just a little squable, especially if the other fish is bigger and not of the same color.
 
ok, now i just gotta decide which one i want more then i guess :) i think coral beautys are well, beautiful, but i think flame angels are really cool too. anyone care to state their preferance?

I love flame angels, but my fiance and here sister both think CB's are better, luckily I'm the Deuce Bigelow of the house, so I get to make the call!!
 
I personally like flames as I think they are a much hardier species. The longevity of CB's in a closed sytem (unless its very large) is much shorter then that of the flame.
 
so flames are the hardier of the two? my lfs dont keep flames in stock, maybe they will get one in soon so i can look at it. ive never seen one in up close before.
 
Bicolors are even less hardy. There are a few diff regions that the flame comes from and they are pretty common in the trades. I am surprised that your LFS hasnt had any of them. BTW, the x-mas Island ones are one of the nicer looking flames.
 
Flames are really nice fish. But a Coral Beauty is much better looking. The only bad thing is thay they like to hide at least mine does. I have had both and my Flame up and died for no reason. This CB had something on it, I thought it was ICH. Didn't affect his eating or the way he acted. Then one day it just disappeared. I had no quarantine tank and couldn't add any med in my reef. I didn't know what I was going to do. Then it just vanished, can't explain.
